DEVELOPING: Former President Donald Trump headed to Montana for a Friday night rally in hopes of ousting the state's Democratic senator, but his plane first had to divert to an airport on the other side of the Rocky Mountains because of a mechanical issue, according to airport staff.

Trump's plane was en route to Bozeman, Montana, when it was diverted Friday afternoon to Billings, 142 miles to the east, according to Jenny Mockel, administrative assistant at Billings Logan International Airport. Mockel said the former president was continuing to Bozeman via private jet.

Trump’s campaign posted a video of him upon landing in which he said he was glad to be in Montana but did not mention anything about the landing.

The former president came to Montana hoping to remedy some unfinished business from 2018, when he campaigned repeatedly in Big Sky Country in a failed bid to oust incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Tester.

    NBC Montana, you need to do better. That was so 2016, you are part of the problem in media - not part of the solution. GROW UP.

    "If you can't tell, the energy level has really gone up here"... Meanwhile you see a bunch of people sitting looking straight ahead saying and doing nothing while GNR plays in the background...

    Back in 2018, Trump visited Montana four times, holding rallies in Billings, Bozeman, Great Falls and Missoula. Diaper still owes them $18,000+, suckers.
  • I think we need to seriously consider BALKINIZATION because our country is soo divided!.
  • This announcer seemed happier to promote the Dem candidate’s rally more than Trump’s rally. Bozeman might be scary.

  • Dear tRumpers , LOOK at the merchandise you buy at the rallies and see where it’s MADE ?
  • @funniburnz4942
    I think he went there hoping the seats would be full of his supporters so he could pretend he isnt having the worst few weeks of his life right now.
  • @sharcrum
    Well, are they trying to sabotage this playing now!?
