Sen. Klobuchar is not expected to face a serious general election challenger, though a long-shot candidate could always emerge in Minnesota, which is heavily Republican outside of the Twin Cities region. But Republicans aren’t likely to recruit in this race when winning next door in Montana is a much easier bet.
