Montana Senate candidate Tim Sheehy, who is locked in a highly consequential race with Democratic incumbent Jon Tester, said in newly unearthed audio that the Republican Party needs to do a better job at winning over young women, who he said have been “indoctrinated" for years on the issue of abortion.

The issue of protecting public lands took up a full seven minutes of Monday's 1-hour debate between Montana Democratic Sen. Jon Tester and Republican challenger Tim Sheehy.
