Sheehy is running against incumbent U.S. Senator Jon Tester (D) in one of the most highly contested - and expensive - Senate races of 2024.
Trump visited Montana four times in 2018 to campaign for Republican Matt Rosendale who was at the time running against Tester, hosting rallies in Great Falls, Bozeman, Missoula, and Billings.
Tester won that contest by 3.5 points and Rosendale was elected to the U.S. House in 2020. Rosendale had briefly run earlier this year for the U.S. Senate Republican nomination but bowed out after Trump endorsed Sheehy.
The general consensus of political analysts is that the party that wins the Montana U.S. Senate seat in the November election will likely control the Senate.
We will update you when we get more information.
