"Montana Senate Candidate Matt Rosendale Withdraws After Trump Endorses Opponent"

Representative Matt Rosendale of Montana, a right-wing candidate, has dropped out of the Republican primary race for the state's Senate seat less than a week after entering, following former President Donald Trump's quick endorsement of his main rival, Tim Sheehy. Rosendale cited the lack of resources and an uphill battle as reasons for his withdrawal, setting up Sheehy as a favorite to secure the nomination and face Democratic incumbent Jon Tester in November, potentially boosting Republicans' efforts to regain control of the closely divided Senate.
