Vice President JD Vance was scheduled to speak Monday at an airplane hangar in Belgrade, Montana, in a House district described by The Hill as unexpectedly competitive. The visit focused attention on the contest between Republican Aaron Flint and Democrat Sam Forstag, with The Hill reporting that Flint is favored but polls show a close race.

The Hill said President Trump had held a rally in western Montana about two weeks earlier. The Washington Examiner reported that Vance was in Belgrade on Monday afternoon and was due to join Sen. Roger Marshall for a rally in Topeka, Kansas, later that evening. It said the appearances came eight days before the 2026 midterm elections.
