President Trump is planning a fourth trip to Montana, a state he won by 20 points, in an effort to knock off Democratic incumbent Sen. Jon Tester (Mont.), according to Republican sources in the state. Tester appeared to be cruising to an easy reelection victory earlier this year, but the race has tightened in recent weeks, something Republicans say is largely due to the polarizing effect of the bitter fight over Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Sensing vulnerability, Trump is going to make another visit to Montana next weekend to help Tester’s challenger, state auditor Matt Rosendale.
The visit would come just more than two weeks after Trump held a rally for Rosendale in Missoula on Oct. 18.
The next rally is expected to take place in Bozeman, Montana’s tech hub, which Hillary Clinton carried narrowly in 2016. She won Gallatin County by a point with 45.6 percent of the vote.
