This has taken a serious toll on me, and my family. Additionally, it has caused a serious disruption to the election of the next representative for MT-02,\u201d Rosendale wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo me, public service has truly always been about serving, not titles or positions of power. The current attacks have made it impossible for me to focus on my work to serve you. So, in the best interest of my family and the community, I am withdrawing from the House race and will not be seeking office,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In February, Rosendale released a similar statement explaining the quick decision to end his campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInstead of one of those phony statements from politicians, here&#8217;s my statement on why I&#8217;m withdrawing my candidacy for the\u00a0U.S. Senate,\u201d Rosendale said in a statement. \u201cAs everyone knows, I have planned to run for the U.S. Senate and to win both the primary and the general election. However, the day I announced, President Trump then announced that he was endorsing a different candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have long been a supporter of the president, and remain so,\u201d he continued. \u201cBut I have been forced to calculate what my chances of success would be with Trump supporting my opponent. This race was already going to be tough, as I was fighting against\u00a0Mitch McConnell\u00a0and the rest of the Republican establishment in Washington. But I felt like I could beat them, as the voters do not agree with them choosing who would be the next U.S. Senator from\u00a0Montana.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, Montana Rep.
