Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has endorsed Tim Sheehy for the Montana U.S. Senate race, sparking discussions about Sheehy's stance on GOP leadership, particularly his support for McConnell, with some calling Sheehy a 'McConnell acolyte'. This development comes amid a broader context of political backlash against Republicans who voted to oust former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, with CNN reporting that McCarthy, alongside a well-connected GOP outside spending group, is expected to target these dissenting GOP members. Questions about Sheehy's political alignment have been raised, with inquiries on whether he supports McConnell or aligns more with former President Trump. Additionally, Rep. Matt Rosendale criticized McConnell for opposing Speaker Johnson's endorsement in an interview with Scripps News but acknowledged Johnson's continued financial and verbal support.
