"Trump-Backed Montana Lawmaker's Loyalty Tested as He Runs for Senate"

Despite former President Trump's endorsement of his opponent Tim Sheehy in the Montana Republican Senate primary, candidate Matt Rosendale expressed his continued support and admiration for Trump, stating that he plans to be in the United States Senate to help Trump with his agenda. Rosendale's entry into the race has set the stage for a tough competition against Sheehy, who has garnered support from top Republicans. Trump, in turn, praised Sheehy as an "American Hero" and a "highly successful Businessman from the Great State of Montana," endorsing him as the candidate best-positioned to defeat incumbent Senator Jon Tester and regain the Republican majority in the Senate.
