'Ridin' with Biden' cars parade through Great Falls

My old high school buddy Melissa Smith is running for Montana state house. She staged this event in Great Falls.

Smith, a candidate for House District 20, said the parade was meant to show support for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, as well as other state and local Democratic candidates running for office.

"Democrats are loud and proud, too," Smith said. "We care about this country, we are excited, and we need to be visible. This state is more purple than it is red."

Denise Combs and her husband Don decorated their white truck for the parade. Denise said she attended the event because she is "tired of (President Donald) Trump's lies."

About 30 cars paraded through Great Falls to support Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
"I'm a military mother, and I'm sick of seeing (Trump) disrespect military families while claiming he's pro-military. You have to watch what he does, not what he says. The Democrats are offering a positive, anti-hate choice in this election," she said.
