Laura Wight and Jasmine Cassandra are organizing an event called "Grab Him by the Hypocrisy: Rally Against Trump."

During the rally, Trump is expected to rally support for Matt Rosendale, the GOP candidate who will face incumbent U.S. Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) in the November election. Rosendale defeated several other GOP candidates in the primary earlier this month.

(THURSDAY, JUNE 28) President Trump will visit Montana next week. White House spokesperson Lindsay Walters says that Trump will be in Montana on Thursday, July 5th.
There is no word yet on where he will be, nor for how long. However, MTN News has received several reports that large blocks of hotel rooms have been reserved in Great Falls by an "advance" team from the White House, and that White House officials have contacted several Great Falls organizations about the possibility of a Presidential visit.
Many people believe that the President is visiting Montana in support of Matt Rosendale, the GOP candidate who will face incumbent U.S. Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) in the November election. Rosendale defeated several other GOP candidates in the primary earlier this month.
Donald Trump, Jr. visited Billings last Friday to stump for Rosendale.
The last time a U.S. President visited Great Falls was in February 2005, when George W. Bush was campaigning for partial privatization of Social Security.
