Sometimes big ole farm boys just don't know their own strength I guess. A bit of good-natured roughhousing left Tester's campaign with a repair bill.

Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mon.), who is expected to face a tough campaign for reelection next year, on Thursday released bloopers to a campaign video in which he pushes Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) into a wall that then breaks.

“See how determined he is,” Booker joked in the video on Twitter, pointing to the crack in the wall that Tester pushed him into. “This is actually Tester’s version of giving me the finger.”

“That’s exactly what it is, and I do it a lot,” Tester shot back.

Democrats will try to hold onto their slim majority in the Senate in 2024, with Tester being one of the most vulnerable incumbents Republicans intend target, a fact he acknowledged in the blooper video.

“Hey, it’s gonna be a tough race,” Tester said, pointing at the camera.

Booker poked fun at Tester, saying there’s “no one like him. Thank God.”

“No s—,” Tester joked back.
