Montana will hold a special election today to replace Ryan Zinke, who left his House of Representatives seat to become President Trump's secretary of the interior. The major candidates are Rob Quist, a local folk singer who has run a left-populist campaign funded mostly by the grassroots, and Greg Gianforte, a software gazillionaire (and young-Earth creationist) who is attempting to buy himself political office again after failing to purchase the Montana governorship in 2016. The race was turned on its head Wednesday night, as Gianforte allegedly assaulted Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs for asking a question about the Congressional Budget Office report on TrumpCare.
