MO-SEN 2022 megathread: ERIC

Probably Sarah Steelman vs. Crystal Quade.

Likely R since it is a Biden midterm.

Steelman, like Hawley will be on GOP presidential lists for 2024, 2028

Why not Ann Wagner?

Flawless, beautiful, Blunt.

He looks like the Grinch.

Since the battleground of the Senate is expanding it will help us in our House races, my guess is Grassley and Johnson retires next

Sifton, Jackson, Ryan, Fetterman and Nelson can follow the Job Ossoff model of tapping into WC females for their votes

My guess is that Mcconnell is giving his blessings to any of his members to retire since he too wants to get out of a 2 T Bidenadmin


French Republican, who said Blunt was easily gonna win, where is he now, just like he predicted GA was going R and Jon Ossoff

There’s no way Ron Johnson is retiring

He said he was leaning towards it.

This race is still safe R for now barring unforeseen developments.

With hindsight, McCaskill was stronger than she looked for a Missouri Democrat but the state has gone off the deep end in being heavily GOP. And let's predict pretty firmly that in 2024 that Missouri will absolutely vote to the right of Utah.

I honestly believe that Blunt and Portman retiring is just a conspiracy. The GOP knows they could lose WI, NC, and PA so they are forcing Blunt and Portman to retire as bait for Democrats who will inevitably spend all the money and resources in Ohio and Missouri.

But the thought of Senator Greitens makes me want to vomit.  Makes me feel more ill than when I had covid.

If that's the case, why not bait them with a nice Rubio retirement?

What’s your thoughts on Katie Walsh as a senate candidate?

She seems like MO’s version of Jane Timken. Someone who can appeal to both mainstream GOPers and the Trump base. She’s a longtime RNC staffer, but later worked for Trump for the first few months of his term and then took a role at America First Policies, a leading pro-Trump advocacy group.

No chance of winning the nomination, despite supporting Trump.

Why not?

There's an apparent domain registration for Eric Schmitt.

But more interesting is Springfield-based State Senator Lincoln Hough having two congressional domains registered. I guess he's planning on succeeding Billy Long if he goes for the senate? (Or it could be just a plan old retirement),
