And it’s said that he’ll accept.
He’s a congressman from Montana, a state with a strong conservationist tradition. Conservationist like conserving land and species.
He is supported by the typical left of hunting groups also like Whit Fossberg of the TRCP (union money) as well as Back Country Hunters/Anglers, and middle of the roaders like Rocky Mountain Elk Association.
I would think there was work done by Trump’s son as well as the major hunting orgs. Zinke is said to be good on Land and Water Conservation Fund as well as Federal Land Transfers, the two big conservation issues for hunters.
Zinke is reported to have accepted the offer.

Montana residents might want to correct me but I believe governor Bullock (D) gets to choose from amongst 3 congressional replacements offered by the MT Rep party.
Update:
I see there are two other diaries here www.dailykos.com/… and here www.dailykos.com/…
Both note the name floated of late (Rodgers) which to my way of thinking was a head fake always. I really doubted a public land privatizer would make it past Trump’s son. If there’s one place to see the fingerprints of Trump the Junior it’s Sec of Int.
I have to say that though I’m late posting (up in the snow working all day) I think I do have the best photo, LOL
