In a testament to the importance of the Montana race for U.S. Senate, former President Donald Trump held a rally in Big Sky Country for the first time in six years. At the Aug. 9 event in Bozeman, Montana, Trump drummed up support for Republican candidate Tim Sheehy, who is seeking to unseat longtime Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.).
That Senate matchup has drawn national attention for its potential to help flip the Senate to Republican control. Republicans hold a majority of the House seats, but GOP proposals have often died when they reach the Democrat-controlled Senate.
