A parade of Republican Party leaders fearful of losing their Senate majority has visited Montana to rally behind incumbent Steve Daines as he faces Democratic Gov. Steve Bullock. But one has been conspicuously absent: President Donald Trump.

In this Thursday, Oct. 29, 2020, photo, Republican Senators, Ted Cruz, left, of Texas and Steve Daines of Montana, bump elbows during a campaign rally in Billings, Mont. Sen. Daines is being challenged in Tuesday's election by Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, a Democrat.

But that went by the wayside with Trump playing defense against Democrat Joe Biden in several battleground states and after a coronavirus infection temporarily sidelined the president during the homestretch of the campaign.It left Daines, whose campaign has leaned on his ties to Trump, to settle for an 8-1/2 minute “tele-rally” with the president in October — essentially a conference call for supporters and reporters in which no questions were taken.

That’s not the same as having President Trump, who wasn’t on the ballot in 2018, said Jeremy Johnson, a political analyst at Carroll College in Helena. There are signs Trump’s support in Montana has slipped in the past four years including Tester’s 2018 reelection, which came after Trump held four large rallies on behalf of the Republican challenger, state auditor Matt Rosendale. It was a record number of visits to Montana by a sitting president.

Bullock campaign adviser Olivia Bercow said Daines was closing out the campaign stumping with “out of state, out of touch politicians.”

theres no money in it for him

WestRegion AP you morons. Montana isn’t a battleground state. Obviously he’s busy fighting for his own re-election.

Easy, no one wants the Devil’s Kiss...

This would be hilarious if it wasn't real. The maskless elbow-bump is a new kind of idiocy.

Not enough votes in the electoral college to make it worthwhile. Would you go there?

Daines will hold on. I think Montana voters will vote Republican as a check on Biden. Otherwise Bullock would have won.

I don't know, but maybe because Trump is campaigning for himself where he thinks it benefits his chance to win the most.

Yeah now Cruz will help

Um hello 3 electoral college votes. Trump has to worry about FL, PA, MI, GA, WI etc

Some of them think he cares about the party. Bless their hearts. The long term damage he’s done to the Republican Party will haunt them for the next 20 years

SteveDaines tedcruz That is a truly nauseating image-both of these senators have completely backed Trump and have never called him out on his atrocities committed against Americans. They are not for America or Montana or anywhere else. TrumpFailedAmerica BidenHarris2020

I followed you a few years ago, because you used to seem neutral and presented everything equally. You’ve turned into the most biased, liberal hack job of a news source I’ve ever seen. What a shame.

Boycott and VOTE to expel Trump / GOP organized crime. Investigate and prosecute Trump / GOP organized crime.
