A red sea of MAGA hats filled the streets outside the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse in Bozeman on Friday, with people of all ages gathered for Donald Trump’s first campaign appearance in the weeks following an assassination attempt on the former president and a ticket switch by the Democrats.
The indoor venue on the Montana State University campus was filled with people anxiously waiting to see the 45th president – for them, hoping he would soon become the 47th.
The rally started at 6:30 p.m. and ended around 11:30 p.m. When Trump took the stage, he spoke for nearly two hours about why a win for both him and Tim Sheehy is crucial come November.
