The Washington Post’s Liz Goodwin reports that NRSC chair Steve Daines “has declined to express enthusiasm” about the idea of Montana Rep. Matt Rosendale seeking the Republican nod to take on Daines’ homestate colleague, Democratic incumbent Sen. Jon Tester. Goodwin adds that the junior senator “is actively looking for other candidates, though there’s no word on whom Daines does want to step up.

Rosendale, who lost to Tester 50-47 in 2018, has not yet decided if he’ll seek a rematch, but the well-funded Club for Growth said last month it would support him if he ran. Rosendale’s detractors, however, got a new talking point Monday when the congressman was left explaining why he’d posed for a photo with two prominent white supremacists last week.
