Former Rep. Ryan Zinke, who left his seat for a scandal-plagued tenure as then-President Donald Trump's Interior secretary, has won the GOP primary in Montana's 1st Congressional District, CNN Projects.
Zinke, a former Navy SEAL and Montana state senator who was first elected to the House in 2014 and reelected in 2016 before resigning to join Trump's Cabinet, seized on an opening created when the 2020 census results handed the Treasure State a second congressional district.
Rep. Matt Rosendale, who holds the state's one at-large district seat, ran for reelection in the newly created 2nd District, where CNN projected he would be the Republican nominee, while Zinke campaigned in the 1st District.
