Trump noticeably absent from key US Senate race in Montana A parade of Republican Party leaders fearful of losing the majority in the U.S. Senate has visited Montana to rally behind incumbent Steve Daines as he faces a strong challenge from the state's Democratic governor, Steve BullockBILLINGS, Mont. -- As Republican leaders fearful of losing the majority in the U.S. Senate parade through Montana to rally behind embattled incumbent Steve Daines, one has been conspicuously absent: President Donald Trump. Daines held a rally with the president's son, Donald Trump Jr., in Kalispell, Montana, on Saturday. Trump won Montana by 20 percentage points in 2016 and Daines has emerged as a close ally. Pence visiting in September drew several hundred people — far short of the thousands at the Trump rallies that were a central feature of the 2018 Montana election.
