GOP leaders are working to clear the field for former Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy, who is challenging Democratic Sen. Jon Tester.
Within a day of his campaign launch, Tim Sheehy had secured the support of the chair of the Senate GOP campaign arm and endorsements from three other senators. | Rachel Leathe/Bozeman Daily Chronicle via APSenate GOP leaders got their dream recruit in Montana. Now they have to work to keep their 2018 loser out.
“It’s great to see so many conservative senators rallying around Tim’s candidacy,” Montana Sen. Steve Daines told POLITICO, taking the unusual step of trying to gently but publicly nudge the congressmember out of the way. “I really like Matt Rosendale, which is why I am encouraging him to build seniority for the great state of Montana in the House and help Republicans hold their majority.”
“Congratulations to Mitch McConnell and the party bosses on getting their chosen candidate,” he tweeted. “Now Washington has two candidates — Tim Sheehy and Jon Tester — who will protect the DC cartel.” Some Montana donors allied with Sheehy are urging Rosendale not to challenge him. Their message has often taken the same tone as Daines’: They like Rosendale and hope he will continue his work in the House. They don’t want him to complicate their ability to win a Senate seat.
