Matt Rosendale announces retirement from Congress after flip-flop from Senate to House

Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) announced he would retire from Congress at the end of his term, ending a monthlong saga about the Montana Republican’s reelection plans as he teetered between running for the House or Senate.

Rosendale announced on Friday he would not run for a third term in the House, arguing there was not enough room in Congress to break the status quo away from “those who benefit from the current structure to keep things as they are.”
