Trump's plane was en route to Bozeman, Montana, when it was diverted Friday afternoon to Billings, 142 miles to the east, according to Jenny Mockel, administrative assistant at Billings Logan International Airport. Trump continued to Bozeman via private jet. Trump kicked off his rally about 90 minutes behind schedule and immediately began lacing into Sen. Jon Tester. "We are going to defeat radical left Democrat Jon Tester, he's terrible," Trump said. "We're going to evict crazy Kamala," he continued, workshopping a nickname on his new rival. __ Republished with permission of the Associated Press. Comment
