Sen. Jon Tester takes out newspaper ads welcoming Trump to Montana ahead of a hostile visit
Girding for a hostile visit to his state from President Trump, Democratic Sen. Jon Tester took out full-page newspaper ads Thursday welcoming the commander in chief to Montana and thanking him for signing 16 bills that Tester had pushed.
Trump is scheduled to appear at a rally Thursday afternoon in Great Falls, where he hopes to give a boost to Tester’s Republican challenger, State Auditor Matt Rosendale.
Montana is one of a handful of states that Trump won by a large margin in 2016 and that Republicans see as targets to pick up Senate seats this fall.
