"Montana Senate Candidate Withdraws After Trump Endorses Opponent"

Montana Republican Rep. Matt Rosendale has withdrawn from the Senate race just six days after announcing his bid, citing former President Donald Trump's endorsement of his opponent, former Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy, as a factor in his decision. Rosendale, a notable conservative firebrand, had planned to challenge Democrat Sen. Jon Tester but faced a tough primary race against Sheehy, who gained endorsements from prominent figures including Trump. Despite not receiving Trump's endorsement, Rosendale expressed continued support for the former president and plans to consider his next steps back home in Montana.
