Speaker Johnson reverses on planned Montana Senate endorsement

House Speaker Mike Johnson has decided not to endorse Rep. Matt Rosendale for a US Senate race in Montana, which contrasts with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and the Senate GOP's campaign support for Tim Sheehy.
Concerns among Republicans exist that Rosendale's previous statewide loss and hard-right views might decrease their chances of winning the Senate seat in November.
Despite not endorsing Rosendale, Speaker Johnson will donate to his campaign and will not be making official endorsements.
