The Republican Schmitt is serving his first term in the Senate after winning his election in 2022. He was reportedly among those under consideration for Attorney General.

"I ran for the U.S. Senate to represent the people of the Show Me state and I’m just getting started," Schmitt said. "I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and be a champion for President Trump in the Senate."
