Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) “is plotting a Senate comeback bid — a move that’s bound to revive the GOP’s long-running battle over electability in key battleground races,” Politico reports.
“Rosendale has told lawmakers in both chambers that he plans to run for the nomination to take on Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) next year… Conservatives are encouraging a run by Rosendale, who lost to Tester in 2018 and would almost certainly join the party’s right flank if he can topple the incumbent.”
“His timeline is unclear, but any campaign launch could set him on a collision course with Senate GOP leaders who are working to recruit a fresh face for the must-win contest. If Rosendale jumps in, a brutal primary could complicate the party’s chances of retaking the Senate.”
