President Trump called Mr. Rosendale a “strong & conservative fighter” and also touted Rosendale's military record and highlighted that Rosendale supports gun ownership rights.
"@MattForMontana Rosendale is a strong & conservative fighter for Montana. Matt stands w/ our brave veterans, loves our military, and he will continue working to secure our border. Matt will NEVER let our #2A go unprotected. Matt has my total endorsement," Trump tweeted.
