Aaron Flint, a first-time candidate and statewide radio host, won Montana’s Republican House primary Tuesday, beating three rivals including Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen.
Trump endorsed Flint early, and outgoing Rep. Ryan Zinke also backed him in the race to replace Zinke in western Montana’s House seat.
Flint now heads to a general election in a district Trump carried by 12 points in 2024, giving Republicans a clear edge.
The Democratic primary remained too close to call late Tuesday between Ryan Busse, the party’s 2024 gubernatorial nominee, and union smoke jumper Sam Forstag.
The race unfolded in a state that has shifted right in recent years even as rising living costs and pandemic-era in-migration have reshaped Montana politics.
