In a video message recorded from inside the plane, Trump praised Montana, highlighting his reasons for visiting the state. “Most importantly, to support Tim Sheehy, who’s running for the U.S. Senate,” Trump said, referring to the Republican candidate challenging incumbent Democrat Sen. Jon Tester. Trump expressed confidence in Sheehy’s chances against Tester, who is considered one of the most vulnerable Democrats in the upcoming election as Republicans aim to regain control of the Senate.

Despite the gravity of the situation, Trump remained composed and focused on his campaign message. He used the opportunity to tout his current standing in the polls, stating, “We have a great campaign, we have something that’s going to be really important — it’s called, we are going to Make America Great Again.” Trump added that his campaign is gaining momentum and that the changes he envisions for the country will “happen very fast.”
Trump also took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris, his potential opponent in the 2024 election, accusing her of being a “phony” and criticizing her record on the border, the economy, and the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. “We have a great campaign, we have something that’s going to be really important,” he reiterated, emphasizing his commitment to his supporters and the American people.
After the emergency landing in Billings, Secret Service agents conducted a thorough sweep of the airport before allowing Trump to board a private jet to Bozeman, where he arrived on time for his scheduled rally. This event marked Trump’s first outdoor rally since an alleged assassination attempt on his life last month in Butler, Pennsylvania. The incident has led to increased security measures, with the Secret Service reportedly advising Trump to hold smaller indoor events instead of large outdoor rallies.

However, Trump’s supporters and some political commentators have criticized the Secret Service’s recommendation, viewing it as an attempt to interfere with his campaign. House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., told Fox News, “I think people enjoy going to them, and I think, you know, you can get more people outdoors than indoors.” He added, “He attracts a big crowd, obviously. I think the president will do what the president wants to do.”
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, also voiced his disapproval of the Secret Service’s suggestion, stating on his personal X account, “The idea that they’d tell Trump to stop holding rallies is embarrassing — for the Secret Service.”
As Trump continues his campaign, it remains to be seen how he will navigate the balance between maintaining his signature large rallies and adhering to the heightened security measures. For now, Trump remains determined to press forward, undeterred by the challenges and confident in his vision to “Make America Great Again.”
