As Republicans try to recoup from their 2022 midterm losses, party leaders are at odds over how to address the GOP's electability problem.
Senate leadership has been adamant that the party's goal must be to win across the board in 2024, but the anti-tax Club for Growth is seeking to elevate fiscal conservatism and even meddling in early primaries to achieve wins next cycle. The developments highlight a growing rift between top Republicans and the influential conservative group.
In Montana, the Club for Growth is seeking to pull Rep. Matt Rosendale into the race, despite his defeat to Sen. Jon Tester in 2018, while the NRSC appears to be trying to recruit former Navy SEAL and businessman Tim Sheehy into the contest. This isn't the first time Club for Growth has clashed with party leaders. Earlier this year, it spent about $16,000 on an ad casting former Gov. Mitch Daniels as an establishment Republican, seeking to deter him from running for the Senate. The group favored Rep. Jim Banks . Ultimately, Daniels opted not to run.
