Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social his "complete and total endorsement" of Congressman Troy Downing for re-election in Montana's 2nd Congressional District. Trump praised Downing for advocating for farmers and ranchers in Congress, supporting American energy dominance, securing the border, strengthening the military and veterans' benefits, defending the Second Amendment, and upholding "peace through strength." Trump also criticized Downing's opponent, Brian Miller, as a "radical left Democrat" who opposes tips, overtime pay, and tax-free Social Security, and advocates for massive tax increases and open border policies.
