"Montana Rep. Matt Rosendale Enters High-Stakes Senate Race, Shaping GOP Primary"

Montana Congressman Matt Rosendale has entered the high-profile Senate race, setting up a contentious Republican primary battle against political newcomer Tim Sheehy. Both candidates are seeking to align themselves with former President Donald Trump, who remains popular in Montana. Rosendale, known for his far-right policies, is hoping to win over conservative voters, while Sheehy has received endorsements from several party leaders. The race is expected to be one of the most competitive and expensive in the country, as Republicans aim to unseat incumbent Sen. Jon Tester, the only statewide-elected Democrat in Montana. Tester, known for his moderate stance and work on veterans issues, is facing what could be the hardest race of his career.
