JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri’s self-styled pork steak-eating, Busch-drinking attorney general could be on the verge of a big promotion.
Attorney General Eric Schmitt and his allies are spending big ahead of the Aug. 2 Republican primary for U.S. Senate. His campaign has portrayed the 47-year-old De Smet Jesuit High School graduate as a proven fighter for conservative values, while others say Schmitt’s brand belies a more-moderate past, mainly from his time in the state Senate.
In any case, Schmitt’s campaign is focused on what he’s done recently: challenging President Joe Biden’s administration in the courtroom.
