Montana Republican Ends Senate Campaign After Less Than A Week
HuffPost
Rep. Matt Rosendale was here for a good time, not a long time.
A Montana Republican who mounted a Senate campaign only to be greeted by former President Donald Trump’s near-instant endorsement of his opponent has ended his campaign after just six days.
Rep. Matt Rosendale officially launched a Senate bid last Friday after long teasing his desire for a rematch against Democratic Sen. Jon Tester, whom he lost to in 2018. The news was first reported by Politico.
“I have long been a supporter of the President, and remain so. But I have been forced to calculate what my chances of success would be with Trump supporting my opponent. This race was already going to be tough, as I was fighting against Mitch McConnell and the rest of the Republican establishment in Washington. But I felt like I could beat them, as the voters do not agree with them choosing who would be the next U.S. Senator from Montana,” Rosendale said in a statement.
“However, by my calculations, with Trump endorsing my opponent and the lack of resources, the hill was just too steep.”
Rosendale got an icy reception from national Republicans, who are backing former Navy SEAL and wealthy businessman Tim Sheehy for the GOP nomination.
