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.
“Matt, Montana is grateful for your service and for showing Washington, D.C. what it means to hold the line on reckless spending. I know working together we’ll win this race and defeat Jon Tester,” he posted.National Republicans view Montana and Ohio as their two best chances of flipping seats that would give them control of the Senate — and they were eager to avoid an ugly primary that would damage their eventual nominee in the general election.
