The 30-second ad spot features Trump speaking at a rally in Great Falls last month, and includes a clip of the president touting Rosendale as a “Montana fighter.”

“A vote for Jon Tester is a vote for [Sen.] Chuck SchumerChuck SchumerOvernight Health Care: US showing signs of retreat in battle against COVID-19 | Regeneron begins clinical trials of potential coronavirus antibody treatment | CMS warns nursing homes against seizing residents’ stimulus checks Schumer requests briefing with White House coronavirus task force as cases rise Schumer on Trump’s tweet about 75-year-old protester: He ‘should go back to hiding in the bunker’ MORE [D-N.Y.], [Rep.] Nancy PelosiNancy PelosiTrump on collision course with Congress over bases with Confederate names Black lawmakers unveil bill to remove Confederate statues from Capitol Pelosi: Georgia primary ‘disgrace’ could preview an election debacle in November MORE [D-Calif.],” Trump says, referring to the Senate and House minority leaders, respectively. “Jon Tester, he signed up for the Democrats’ radical immigration agenda.”

Rosendale has sought to align himself closely with Trump, who won Montana in 2016 by a 20-point margin.

Tester is seeking a third term in the Senate. And while he’s well-known in Montana, he could still face a difficult reelection bid, as Republicans seek to strengthen their majority in the Senate.

For his part, Tester has avoided criticizing Trump in the same vein as some of his Democratic colleagues.

In the first TV ad of his reelection bid earlier this year, he touted 13 of his bills that Trump had signed into law since taking office.
