GALLATIN COUNTY — Hundreds of people turned out for Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy, who was joined by former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard on the campaign trail Thursday evening in Gallatin County.
Gabbard, now an Independent, has since defected from the Democratic Party (when acknowledged at the event, that elicited some of the biggest applause of the evening) and in the last couple years she has campaigned for Republican candidates across the country.
Tulsi Gabbard, a former U.S. representative, meets with attendees to an event supporting Tim Sheehy, the Republican candidate for the US Senate, on Thursday at Rockin’ TJ Ranch.
Before the stop outside Bozeman, the duo was also in Kalispell on Thursday morning where roughly 350 people attended the event in addition to the roughly 400 people who came out in Bozeman, the Sheehy campaign said. It was standing-room only at the Gallatin County rally and attendees moved fans throughout the room that was packed to the brim.

The battle for Montana’s coveted Senate seat will be between Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL and Belgrade business owner, and the Democrat, incumbent U.S. Sen. Jon Tester, a Big Sandy farmer who has served in the U.S. Senate since 2007. Tester is one of two Democrats running for reelection in states that Donald Trump won in 2020. All eyes are on Montana, as it’s predicted the winner of the U.S. Senate race here is likely to be one of the determining factors in which party has control of the chamber where Democrats currently hold a slim majority.
Sheehy recently coasted to victory in the Republican primary in early June, beating the second-place candidate by 54.2 points.
