Less than a week after announcing his U.S. Senate candidacy, Montana Congressman Matt Rosendale is dropping out of the race. This comes after months of speculation that Mitch McConnell and D.C. Republicans, terrified of once again losing to Democratic Sen. Jon Tester, are attempting to rig the race in favor of their preferred candidate, fake rancher and non-Montanan Tim Sheehy.
In response to Rosendale’s announcement, American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Sarah Abel released the following statement:
“Mitch McConnell has single-handedly picked Tim Sheehy to be the GOP’s Senate candidate in Montana — giving Montanans no say in the matter. But the reality is this was a Sophie’s choice. Both Matt Rosendale and Tim Sheehy are out-of-state, out-of-touch, fake ranchers who will never win a U.S. Senate race.”
