President Donald Trump is heading from the Arizona desert to Montana’s mountain country Wednesday, packing two campaign rallies into one day as Republicans push to turn his supporters into midterm voters.
Following Tuesday’s stop in Alaska, Trump is scheduled to speak in Bullhead City, Arizona, at 4 p.m. Eastern, then travel to Kalispell, Montana, for an 8:15 p.m. Eastern rally, according to The Hill and the president’s public schedule. Election Day is less than three weeks away.
Arizona: A Push For Biggs
Trump’s first stop is Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport, where he is scheduled to take the stage at 1 p.m. local time.
Republican Rep. Andy Biggs, Trump’s endorsed candidate for governor, is expected to join him, FOX 10 Phoenix reported. Biggs is challenging Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, who received former President Barack Obama’s endorsement Tuesday.
The location puts Trump on familiar political ground. He won more than 77 percent of the vote in Mohave County in 2024, according to KTAR News. With early voting already underway, the visit gives Republicans an opportunity to turn enthusiasm into ballots before November 3.
Montana: A Congressional Seat In Play
Trump will then head north to Majestic Valley Arena in Kalispell, where his remarks are scheduled for 6:15 p.m. local time.
The rally is aimed at boosting Aaron Flint, the Republican nominee for Montana’s western congressional district. Flint, a veteran and radio host, faces Democrat Sam Forstag, a smokejumper and union leader, in a competitive contest to succeed retiring Republican Rep. Ryan Zinke, the Flathead Beacon reported.
Turning Rally Crowds Into Votes
Wednesday’s doubleheader follows Trump’s rare campaign visit to Alaska, where he announced pardons for two men convicted of violating the Clean Air Act, according to The Hill.
His itinerary has repeatedly taken him into Republican strongholds. A Republican source told The Hill that the broader strategy is to replicate as much of the party’s presidential-election turnout as possible in the midterms.
After the Montana rally, Trump’s public schedule lists a return trip to the White House. Wednesday’s mission is straightforward: give Republican candidates a boost and get his voters moving before the final stretch.
