Rep. Matt Rosendale filed to run for re-election in his U.S House seat Saturday after suspending a short-lived campaign for Senate earlier this month.
A spokesperson for the campaign in a request for comment on the decision to run said the Congressman should have an announcement soon, but is currently working with colleagues on the impending deadline to fund the federal government next week.
Rosendale cited former President Donald Trump’s endorsement of his Senate primary opponent Bozeman Businessman Tim Sheehy, as well funding struggles, for why he was dropping out of the Senate race. Trump had said in his endorsement for Sheehy, just hours after Rosendale filed in the Senate race, he would be willing to endorse Rosendale but only if he ran for re-election in the House.
