Independent Veteran vs MAGA Machine: Seth Bodnar’s Battle for Montana’s Senate. A Green Beret, Rhodes Scholar, university president and business leader, independent Senate candidate Seth Bodnar joins Paul Rieckhoff from Montana for a hard‑hitting, no‑BS conversation about taking on Trump’s MAGA machine, a rigged two‑party system, and the corrupt insider games that tried to handpick his opponent. From filing his campaign minutes before the party bosses pulled a fast one, to why he refuses to “put on a jersey” for either party, Bodnar lays out why Montana—and America—need an independent voice that answers to voters, not party leaders.
