President Donald J. Trump is out with a big and early endorsement in the 2026 US Senate race here in Montana. The 45th and 47th President of the United States endorsed Montana's US Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) over one year before the 2026 primary elections.

For the first time in 114 years, Montana now has two Republican US Senators after the victory last November by Navy SEAL veteran and now US Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT).

President Trump shared this post on Truth Social Monday afternoon:

Steve Daines is a Great Man, and TREMENDOUS Senator, representing the Fantastic People of Montana. I love Montana, won every one of my Races there by a landslide, and would only recommend the best to represent you in the Senate!

President Trump also highlighted Senator Daines' efforts to win back Republican control of the Senate as Chairman of the NRSC in 2024:

As Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), Steve worked tirelessly with me in the last Election to help elect smart, tough, and sincere America First Patriots. In the Senate, Steve is fighting hard to Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes, Secure the Border, Stop Migrant Crime, Support our Military/Vets, Unleash American Energy Dominance, Restore PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment.

And here's the line any GOP candidate wants to hear heading into the midterms:

Senator Steve Daines, of the Great State of Montana, has my Complete and Total Endorsement — HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!
