Fox News
Former Missouri Republican Gov. Eric Greitens, who resigned in 2018, announced Monday on "Special Report" that he is running to succeed retiring U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo. in 2022.
"I think that now the people of Missouri need a fighter in the United States Senate," he added. "They need somebody who is going to go, as I will, as I am committed to do, to defending President Trump's 'America first' policies and also to protecting the people of Missouri from Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer's radical left agenda.," Greitens said. "So we are excited. We have got a great grassroots team and we are in this race." Greitens was indicted in February 2018 on a charge of invasion of privacy over allegations that he had photographed a woman with whom he was having an extramarital affair while she was bound and partially nude without her consent. The following April, he was charged with tampering with a computer by allegedly taking donor and email lists from veterans support organization The Mission Continues for fundraising purposes.More Related News
