Another Republican candidate has officially thrown their hat into the ring for the Missouri U.S. Senate race.
Attorney General Eric Schmitt made his announcement on Wednesday morning while appearing on Fox News.
He was recently elected to a full term to his post after serving a partial term as state treasurer and two terms in the Missouri Senate. Schmitt’s decision puts him on a collision course with former Gov. Eric Greitens, who entered the contest to succeed U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt on Monday.
Other Republicans are also seriously considering running for the seat. On the Democratic side, former Sen. Scott Sifton, Jefferson City native Lucas Kunce (koo-untz) and tech executive Tim Shepard have announced their Senate bids.
