Rosendale Opts for House Re-election After Dropping Senate Bid

Following Trump's endorsement of rival Tim Sheehy for the Senate, Rep. Matt Rosendale seeks to retain his House seat, endorsing Sheehy and urging GOP unity.

Republican Rep. Matt Rosendale of Montana has announced he will seek re-election to the House after initially launching a short-lived Senate campaign.
Rosendale's decision comes after former President Donald Trump endorsed Tim Sheehy for the Senate seat, leading Rosendale to withdraw his candidacy.
In his statement, Rosendale endorsed Sheehy for the Senate and called for party unity to defeat incumbent Democrat Jon Tester.
A crowded field of Republicans had filed or announced plans to seek Rosendale's House seat, indicating a shake-up in the race following his decision to run for re-election.
Rosendale, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, has been a vocal supporter of Trump and his policies, including efforts to cut spending, secure the border, and restore America's energy dominance.
