Three candidates in Missouri's primary Senate race have all announced they would not support Mitch McConnell as majority leader should Republicans win the upper chamber in November

Schmitt was the first this week to blast the minority leader while speaking at a campaign event in Columbia, Missouri, Wednesday. "I think we need new leadership in the Senate," Schmitt told a reporter.
"Mitch McConnell was elected to the Senate in 1985. I think the party's priorities changed pretty dramatically. And I don't think he's kept up with that. I think that most recently, evidenced by the disastrous infrastructure bill, I was vocal about not supporting this gun confiscation law, the red flag law. I don't support that," he said.
