Vice President Vance to speak in Montana ahead of midterm election

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 23 Oct, 18:02 · Archive

Vice President JD Vance will speak at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport on 26 October.

Vice President JD Vance will speak at an airplane hangar at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport in Belgrade, Montana on Monday, 26 October at 11:40 a.m. His arrival marks the third visit to Montana in two weeks by the federal government's most powerful Republicans, following President Donald Trump's visit to Kalispell on 14 October and House Speaker Mike Johnson's visit to Bozeman on Tuesday. All three have been traversing the country to encourage Republicans to vote in the 3 November midterm election.

Gallup polling shows that the Republican-led Congress's job approval has declined since spring 2025. In response, Republican campaign groups have shifted money from races deemed too difficult to win toward formerly safe Republican districts that now appear at risk of flipping to Democrats.

Kal Munis, a political science expert at Montana State University, said the high-profile visits indicate Republicans view the Western District race for U.S. House as critical to the party's congressional fortunes. 'It's suggestive that they see the race as being highly competitive, and that they see this as being a really key race in helping keep a Democratic majority as small as possible,' Munis said. He added the visits demonstrate the party believes such appearances will 'help mobilize voters within that Republican base to show up and vote.' An RSVP is required to attend the event, according to the Republican National Committee.
