ENNIS, Mont. — Montana U.S. Senate candidate Matt Rosendale is running in a new world for Republicans: one where Obamacare repeal is not the clear-cut winner it was in the last two midterm elections.

Rosendale said in an interview with the Washington Examiner that he opposes the federal mandates in Obamacare that force health insurance carriers to cover pre-existing medical conditions and prohibit lifetime caps on payouts, but would find other ways to provide coverage.
