Zinke himself arrived around 8:30 p.m and has been down meeting and greeting some of his supporters since he got here.
Zinke’s campaign has expressed a lot of confidence about the eventual results of this election.
So far, it sounds like there's been a lot of energy in this room, a lot of confidence there, too.
Zinke — a retired Navy SEAL — two times elected to represent the entire state of Montana in Congress and spent two years as Interior Secretary under President Donald Trump.
