BOZEMAN, MT (AP) – Former President Donald Trump traveled 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 to Billings, 142 miles to the east.
Trump eventually made it to the Bozeman rally, where he ripped in incumbent Sen. Jon Tester, mocking him for being overweight and for insinuating he sometimes sided with the former president. “That guy voted to impeach me,” Trump said of Tester.
