Sen. Steve Daines is trying to forge a productive relationship with the most erratic man in politics. And the Senate GOP's fortunes may depend on it.
trekked to South Dakota earlier this month to introduce former President Donald Trump at a rally, he also had another mission: To sell the former president on one of his prized Senate recruits, Montana business executive Tim Sheehy.

And he said he speaks with the former president frequently, “working closely together, collaboratively on finding candidates that can win both primaries and generals.

Republicans think Trump can help them oust battle-tested Democratic incumbents in Ohio, West Virginia and Montana, given the former president’s popularity in those states. But there are open questions of how much Trump helps the party in other places. “Can he win a primary and a general election? That’s always the question,” Daines said of Meijer. “Mike Rogers is best positioned to be able to do both.”
