With control of the Senate potentially at stake, Trump will visit Montana on Friday to help oust incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Tester.
Tester has tried to convince voters that he is aligned with Trump on many issues, mirroring his successful strategy from six years ago.
While that worked in a non-presidential election year, he faces a more critical test this fall with Tester’s opponent, former Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy, trying to link the three-term incumbent to Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
Although Trump arrived a little late, the rally is not scheduled to start until 8 p.m. local time.
The rally will be held at the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse on the Montana State University campus.
