Matt Rosendale, a candidate for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate in Montana, spoke with Breitbart News’ Washington Political Editor Matthew Boyle on the Breitbart News Sunday program broadcast on SiriusXM Patriot Channel 125 Sunday night.
He said that incumbent Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) is a reliable vote for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) who voted against confirming Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and also voted against the recently passed Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Montana is one of ten states President Trump won in which an incumbent Democratic senator is up for re-election in 2018.
The winner of the Republican primary, set for June 5, will take on two term Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT), who narrowly won in 2006 and 2012.
Rosendale, who was elected Commissioner Securities and Insurance, Montana State Auditor in 2016, is one of several candidates vying for the Republican nomination.
“A crowded field of Republican candidates, including businessman Troy Downing, former state Rep. Russell Fagg, state Sen. Albert Olszewski, and state Auditor Matt Rosendale, has lined up for the opportunity to challenge Tester this year,” Ballotpedia reports.
Rosendale has been endorsed by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), the Great America Alliance, and Gun Owners of America.
