A month out from the 2024 election, Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri is already thinking about 2026.
The Missouri senator has begun feeling out his GOP colleagues on a bid to become chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee next cycle, according to four sources familiar with the matter.
“Most people expect Schmitt to run for NRSC chair,” one senior GOP aide told NOTUS. “He’s been talking to senators about it. He’d lock it up pretty easily if he decided to pull the trigger.”
