Former President Donald Trump is set to visit Montana today to lend his support to Republicans in what is shaping up to be one of the most fiercely contested Senate races of 2024. The state's Democratic incumbent, Sen. Jon Tester, is seeking reelection in a state that Trump won in 2020, making it a key battleground.
Republicans in Montana have rallied behind GOP nominee Tim Sheehy, an entrepreneur and former Navy Seal, thus avoiding a divisive primary battle. The stakes are high, with both parties investing heavily in the race. Tens of millions of dollars have already been spent on early advertising, and more airtime has been booked for the upcoming fall months.
