Did Matt Rosendale Drop Senate Bid Because He Knocked Up A Staffer?

When Matt Rosendale dropped his senate bid after barely a week recently most of us thought it was odd, but Republicans do so many stupid things these days that it didn't get much scrutiny. Well, it turns out there may be another big reason why Rosendale was anxious to quit, other than Trump endorsing his primary opponent and his lack of fundraising. Former Senator and Governor of North Dakota mentioned that there was a rumor circulating that the very-married Rosendale had knocked up a 20-year-old staffer and that he'd soon be leaving Congress due to that bit of awkwardness.

And although Rosendale immediately threatened legal action against Heitkamp on Monday, he's been strangely quiet since then, refusing to speak to reporters. It's unlikely that Heitkamp would say that if she didn't know it was true.

So here we are with the distinct possibility of the Republicans losing yet another vote in the coming weeks. The filing date is March 11 and it seems more likely than not that Matt Rosendale will not file for his congressional seat.
