Conservative Roadblock Hinders GOP's Efforts to Oust Tester

GOP Rep. Matt Rosendale is considering another run for the Montana Senate race, despite senior Senate Republicans urging him to stay in the House. Rosendale's potential candidacy threatens to complicate the party's plans to unseat Democratic Sen. Jon Tester. He has hired a well-connected fundraiser, gained support from top conservatives, and attended events across the state. However, GOP leaders prefer Navy SEAL-turned-businessman Tim Sheehy as their best hope to defeat Tester. The outcome of the primary will have implications for the GOP's efforts to reclaim the Senate in 2024.
