It's trumpets vs. Trump in Montana Senate race
A Republican hoping to knock off Democratic Sen. Jon Tester is hoping Montanans will choose Top Gun over trumpets.
Businessman Troy Downing is out with a new ad comparing his career as an Air Force pilot and support for the president to Tester’s background as a school teacher, trumpet player and Trump critic.
“So who should we send to the Senate? The trumpeter or the Trump supporter?” the narrator asks as a jet buzzes over an actor portrayal of Tester playing trumpet on a tractor.
Downing will first have to beat out three other Republicans if he wants the chance to take on Tester, who is one of ten Senate Democrats up for re-election in states Trump won in 2016.
The Montana primary is June 5.
