(KMOX) - Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt announced Wednesday morning that he is running for the U.S. Senate in 2022. It comes days after another major Republican in the state, Eric Greitens, also announced his candidacy.
Schmitt made the announcement on Fox News saying "increasingly it feels like our culture and our country is slipping away."
“Missourians know from my public service that they can count on me to stand up to the Biden administration, fight to preserve President Trump’s America First agenda and keep this seat in safe pro-Trump Republican hands," Schmitt stated in a news release. "We need more fighters in Washington willing to stop the radical cancel culture agenda being advanced by the left that is destroying lives and suppressing speech."
Schmitt previously joined KMOX to discuss his possible run for Senate:
