The Democratic Party's image in places like Montana and Nebraska isn't great. So, in Nebraska, the state's Democratic Party opted not to run a candidate in the U.S. Senate race, and is backing an independent. In Montana, some Democrats see their party's candidate for Senate as a spoiler, preventing an independent candidate from winning. We look at both races, and what could happen next. This episode: senior political correspondent Tamara Keith, congressional correspondent Barbara Sprunt, and congressional reporter Sam Gringlas.
