BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — Montana Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte has won a second term by defeating Democratic challenger Ryan Busse. The victory continues Republican control in a state where the GOP also enjoyed a supermajority in the state Legislature. Gianforte’s first term as governor was mostly controversy free, save for clashes with the Montana Supreme Court over laws on abortion access and gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth. In another key race, Republican U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke of Montana won reelection to the House, again defeating his challenger Monica Tranel.
