Missouri, an increasingly Republican state, was not expected to have a competitive Senate race this year. But depending on who wins the GOP primary, it might.
In Missouri, a possible Republican nominee has spooked the party’s establishment, with some in the GOPThe possible nominee is former Gov. Eric Greitens. Greitens, a decorated Navy SEAL with stints in Afghanistan and Iraq, won Missouri’s governorship in 2016, but he became engrossed in scandal early in his term.
"If Greitens wins, the general election will likely be quite competitive, because polls show that Greitens' past record makes him very vulnerable," said Kenneth F. Warren, a political scientist and pollster at Saint Louis University. Greitens’ hope "is to get roughly one-third of the vote in the crowded race, which might be enough to win the nomination," said Peverill Squire, a University of Missouri political scientist. "He was on a path to achieve it. He might now fall short of that vote total, leaving an opening for one of the other candidates."
