Dems Hope Greitens’ ‘Twistedness’ Makes Him Vulnerable
Eric Greitens’ Senate campaign is racking up more backlash by the day. His once allies are turning on him—with some calling on the former Republican governor to drop out. And Democrats in the state are practically salivating at the thought of a former governor who resigned in disgrace being their competition this fall.
And though Missouri Democrats argue they have plenty to offer, in a state that went to former President Trump by 15 points in 2020, it doesn’t hurt their cause to simply be the anti-Greitens option.
“[Greitens’] twistedness and his crookedness and his criminality—like, that’s going to be used against folks in this state... It’s something that people are worried about,” said Lucas Kunce, a Marine veteran and candidate for the Missouri Democratic nomination for Senate.
