Mike Johnson to Endorse Matt Rosendale

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) plans to endorse Rep. Matt Rosendale’s (R-MT) expected campaign for U.S. Senate, Punchbowl News reports.

“Johnson’s endorsement would put him in direct conflict with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, the NRSC and the Senate Leadership Fund, all of whom are opposed to Rosendale’s candidacy.”

“The Senate GOP political operation has backed Tim Sheehy (R) to take on Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) in one of the marquee races this year.”
