Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) announced on Wednesday that he will not seek re-election in the 2026 midterm elections. “Serving the people of Montana in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate the past 13 years has been the greatest honor of my professional career. I am grateful to God for allowing me to serve,” Daines said in a video posted to X. “But after much careful thought, I have decided not to seek re-election,” he continued. More below: An announcement pic.twitter.com/7HCofBTUMA — Steve Daines (@SteveDaines) March 5, 2026 POLITICO has more: Daines’ announcement makes him the sixth Republican senator to choose not to seek reelection in this fall’s midterm elections, joining a list that includes North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, who announced his decision last year, and Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who is running for governor instead of seeking a second term. Sens. Joni Ernst, Cynthia Lummis, and Mitch McConnell, a former Senate majority leader, also announced they won’t seek reelection this cycle. Daines, who was first elected to the Senate in 2014 and defeated then-incumbent Montana Gov. Steve Bullock in his 2020 reelection race, chaired the National Republican Senatorial Committee from 2023 to 2025. “Steve Daines, of Montana, is one of our truly Great United States Senators. He honorably served for 12 years in the Senate, and 2 in the House of Representatives. He did a job like few others are capable of doing but, sadly for our Country, Steve’s Term is up, and he has decided to leave the Senate and, ‘pass the torch’ to Kurt Alme, my TRUMP 45 and TRUMP 47 U.S. Attorney. In fact, if Kurt didn’t have the highest level of aptitude and talent, Steve would have remained exactly where he is but, Kurt is exceptional, and I will be giving him, based on Steve’s strongest recommendation, my Complete and Total Endorsement. Governor Greg Gianforte and Senator Tim Sheehy have also Endorsed Kurt,” President Trump wrote on Truth Social. “A Highly Respected Criminal Prosecutor in my Administration, and distinguished Harvard Law School Graduate, Kurt knows the Wisdom and Courage it takes to ensure LAW AND ORDER, advocate for our Heroes in Law Enforcement, and strongly support our Military and Veterans. As your next Senator, Kurt will fight tirelessly to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Champion our Farmers and Ranchers, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment,” he continued. “Kurt Alme is an exceptional person, and will do a fantastic job as your next United States Senator from the Great State of Montana — HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!” he added.

Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT) announced on Wednesday that he will not seek re-election in the 2026 midterms. “After prayer, reflection, and many long conversations, I have decided that I will not seek reelection in 2026. I will complete this term fully committed to my work in Washington, DC, and then step away from elected office,” Owens wrote. “I began this political journey over six years ago with a simple question: Can I do more to advocate for our at-risk children? That question led me into public service, with a focused passion on education where the cancer of hopelessness and training for ‘social advocacy’ has taken hold in too many of our public schools,” he continued. Just in: Utah Republican Congressman Burgess Owens won’t run for reelection in 2026 pic.twitter.com/oKmB1bd9qf — The Calvin Coolidge Project (@TheCalvinCooli1) March 4, 2026 Owens steps down as Utah redraws its congressional districts ahead of the midterm elections. POLITICO explained: Owens’ retirement helps Utah Republicans avoid a possible member-on-member primary after a Utah judge implemented a new congressional map that created a new Democratic-leaning seat and drew Rep. Mike Kennedy (R-Utah) and Rep. Celeste Maloy (R-Utah) into the same district. Utah’s 4th congressional district, which Owens represents, will remain a strongly Republican seat under the new map. Owens’ decision to serve out the remainder of his term helps House Republican leadership preserve their narrow majority for the remainder of the cycle. Republicans’ four-seat House majority means they can only afford to lose one Republican on a party-line vote. In addition to Owens leaving Congress, Reps. John James (R-Mich.) and Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) are running for governor, and Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Tex.) launched a failed bid for Texas’ Senate seat, meaning there will likely be no Black members of the House Republican conference next year. Owens is the latest in a wave of House Republicans looking to leave the lower chamber this cycle. Since the beginning of 2025, 35 other House Republicans have resigned, announced their retirements or launched campaigns seeking other elected positions. “I came to Congress with a simple ask from my constituents: to represent Utah’s nation-leading culture of faith, family, the free market, and education. I have been proud to fight alongside President Donald J. Trump, whose leadership exposed the insidious spread of Marxism in our country and who has demonstrated that only a proud, focused, and unapologetic America can defeat it,” Owens said. “His commitment to working families and his willingness to confront corruption head-on reaffirm that courage still matters in public life,” he added. Roll Call shared further: A former NFL star, Owens has been a backbencher in Congress since he was elected to the House in November 2020, beating former Rep. Ben McAdams, a Democrat, by 47 percent to 46 percent. Owens, 74, is a vocal backer and supporter of President Donald Trump, and has focused on promoting conservative culture war issues embraced by his party’s right flank. From his perch on the Education and the Workforce Committee, and as chairman of the Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Development, Owens has taken aim at higher education diversity initiatives — like the DEI movement — and changes to college sports policies. “It has been an honor to witness our House leadership unite our body with the Senate and President to deliver some of the most consequential legislation of our time,” Owens said. “History will record that the 2024 trifecta gave our nation a second chance to continue our 250-year journey toward our Founders’ vision of a more perfect Union.”
