GOP Senator Forced To Make Emergency Landing After In-Flight Problem – usanews.net

Trump pointed out that Daines “did a job like few others are capable of doing” and chose to “‘pass the torch’ to Kurt Alme, my TRUMP 45 and TRUMP 47 U.S. Attorney.” He added that Alme is “exceptional” and that Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte (R) and Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.) have also lined up to support him.

Trump made his endorsement almost an hour after the deadline to file for candidacy in Montana had closed. According to the U.S. attorney’s office, Daines recommended Alme for the role of U.S. attorney in Montana to Trump.

Alme was unanimously confirmed in September 2017 and served until December 2020. Following that, he worked as Gianforte’s state budget director and recently held the position of executive vice president at the National Christian Foundation.
