The club4growth could avoid a bruising primary with national Republicans in Montana next year after meeting with Tim Sheehy, the establishment pick to challenge Democratic incumbent SenatorTester.
The conservative group signaled for months it would support Rep. Matt Rosendale , a member of the House Freedom Caucus who is preparing for a rematch after losing to Tester in 2018. Yet Club for Growth President David McIntosh appeared to backtrack on that support Monday evening, telling reporters at a briefing that his organization was undecided."Matt has not yet decided whether to run.
So far, that has put the campaign arm on a collision course with McIntosh in West Virginia, where Club for Growth is backing the Senate run of another Freedom Caucus member, Rep. Alex Mooney . The NRSC is supporting Gov. Jim Justice . Sheehy has no past political experience, but his ability to self-fund — he's a wealthy entrepreneur — and background as a former Navy SEAL made him a top recruit for Daines.
Rosendale is one of the conservative holdouts who denied Kevin McCarthy the speakership for 15 rounds in January, a group of House lawmakers Club for Growth refers to as the"Patriot 20."
