GOP hopes to flip a Senate seat in the Big Sky State.

Donald Trump traveled to Montana for a Friday night rally intended to drum up support for ousting the state’s Democratic senator, but the former president’s 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. Trump continued to Bozeman via private jet.

Trump kicked off his rally about 90 minutes behind schedule and immediately began lacing into Sen. Jon Tester.

“We are going to defeat radical left Democrat Jon Tester, he’s terrible,” Trump said. “We’re going to evict crazy Kamala,” he continued, workshopping a nickname on his new rival.

    Celine Dione and Sony told Trump to stop the unauthorized use of her image and music at his rallies.

    You’d think the Trumpsters would be aware of US copyright law? Not to mention the fact that she’s French Canadian.

      Who is Celine Dione? Kammy prefers rap music. She likes Cardi B and Megan Thee Stalion. Sing us that WAP girls. I bet Kanye knows the words. Maybe it was written about her. 🤣

    The GOP should be more concerned with losing a Senate seat in Florida.
