Just three weeks after an assassination attempt in which he was shot in the ear, President Donald Trump is set to make a high-profile appearance in Bozeman, Montana, with a rally scheduled for August 9, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. Trump will be joined by Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy. The event will take place at the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse at Montana State University. The event was confirmed by Sheehy in a video posted on his official campaign X account.
As the 2024 campaign season rages along, Trump’s visit to Montana is an interesting strategic decision. In 2020 President Trump beat President Biden by 16 points here, and in 2016 he beat Hillary Clinton by 20. Montana’s presidential electoral votes are likely secure for Trump. However, there is one specific election in Montana that has a chance to change the entire makeup of the federal government: the Senate race between Jon Tester and Tim Sheehy. read more
