The U.S President Donald Trump launched a fresh attack on Montana Senator Jon Tester. He is on his 3^rd campaigning visit to the key state ahead of midterm elections during next month. Trump claimed the Democrat was in a great trouble, before blaming him of making vicious and totally false statements regarding Admiral Ron Jackson. He was forced to withdraw earlier this year as Trump’s nominee for secretary of the veterans’ affairs. Trump tweeted that the senator behaved worse than the Democrat Mob did over Brett Kavanaugh. The attempt of the U.S President to draw parallels between the two cases came after Republicans claimed that bitter fight over the appointment of the judge as it energized their party’s supporter base.

Trump has taken a personal interest in unseating Tester (Montana’s senator since 2007) after he helped to derail the appointment of Jackson by making public claims of alleged misconduct from the nominee in the month of April. Jackson is the former White House doctor and he has denied allegations of drunken behavior, overprescribing prescription drugs and fostering a hostile work environment. The president is expected to go on the attack again during a campaign rally for the Republican candidate and Trump loyalist Matt Rosendale at Missoula airport.

Montana voters backed Trump by 20% points in the 2016 presidential election. Rosendale is currently the state auditor and insurance commissioner. He has staked his campaign on those voters coming out for him in November’s midterms. Tester has denied the claim that he had changed since he took office. He said that Republicans employed similar strategies during the campaigns as he won in 2006 and 2012. The massive amount of money has been spent on both candidates in the race and it could become the most costly in the state’s history.
