    Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) announced his withdrawal from the U.S. Senate race on Thursday, attributing the decision to former President Donald Trump’s endorsement of his primary opponent and a lack of resources. The move comes a week after Rosendale declared his candidacy on February 10, the same day President Trump revealed his support for former Navy SEAL and businessman Tim Sheehy.

    Matt Rosendale’s swift exit from Montana’s U.S. Senate race underscores the immense influence Trump’s endorsement still wields within the Republican party, shaping the electoral landscape significantly. It’s an interesting development that could preset the tone for the upcoming election dynamics in Montana. – Mr.Xoppi

    In a statement, Rosendale expressed his initial intention to run for the U.S. Senate, emphasizing his longstanding support for the president. However, he acknowledged the challenges posed by Trump endorsing his opponent and the limited resources at his disposal. Conversations with Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), led both men to agree that withdrawing from the race was the optimal path for Republicans to pursue Senate majority.

    Rosendale highlighted the inherent difficulties of the race, pitting him against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and the broader Republican establishment in Washington. Despite his confidence in challenging them, the congressman concluded that the combined impact of Trump’s endorsement for his opponent and insufficient resources made the electoral landscape too challenging.

    Contemplating his future political endeavors, Rosendale stated that he would “prayerfully consider what is next” without explicitly mentioning the possibility of running for reelection to the House. Meanwhile, Tim Sheehy acknowledged Rosendale’s withdrawal and commended him for his service, expressing confidence in their joint effort to secure victory and defeat incumbent Sen. Jon Tester.

    The relationship between Rosendale and Sheehy has seen its share of scrutiny, with Rosendale previously criticizing Sheehy for contributing to former UN ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s political action committee in March 2021, nearly two years before her presidential campaign launch.

    President Trump, while expressing respect for Rosendale, endorsed Sheehy as the candidate “currently best-positioned” to reclaim the Republican majority in the Senate. The former president praised Sheehy’s status as an American hero and successful businessman from Montana, emphasizing his support for border security, the military, veterans, and the Second Amendment.

    In an additional show of support, President Trump offered his “complete and total endorsement” to Sheehy, portraying him as a political outsider strong on key issues and capable of standing against the perceived threats posed by the Radical Left Democrats.

    Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL and owner of an aerial firefighting company with extensive government contracts, emerges as a political newcomer supported by McConnell and Daines. Despite efforts by Republicans in Washington to sideline Rosendale and rally behind Sheehy as the preferred candidate to challenge incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Tester, the dynamics of the race continue to evolve. it is curious how Rosendale has such a stellar voting record, while Sheehy supports America going bankrupt to support Ukraine. Makes one think.

    Major Points Discussed:

    • Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) withdrew from the U.S. Senate race, citing former President Donald Trump’s endorsement of his opponent Tim Sheehy and a lack of resources as primary reasons.
    • Rosendale initially declared his candidacy on Feb. 10, the same day President Trump endorsed Tim Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL and businessman, leading Rosendale to assess his chances of success with Trump supporting his opponent.
    • Rosendale, a supporter of the president, discussed the decision with Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), concluding that the withdrawal was the best path forward for Republicans to regain the Senate majority.
    • The congressman highlighted the challenges of facing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and the Republican establishment in Washington, expressing confidence in beating them but deeming the hill too steep with Trump’s endorsement and limited resources.
    • Tim Sheehy, acknowledged for his service by Rosendale, received President Trump’s endorsement as the “best-positioned” candidate to defeat incumbent Sen. Jon Tester. Sheehy, a political newcomer and former Navy SEAL, is supported by McConnell and Daines.
