Danforth Wants Wood To Run To Replace Blunt

Former U.S. Sen. John Danforth and others are urging an attorney for the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection to make an independent run for Missouri’s open Senate seat.

A committee on Monday launched a website encouraging John F. Wood to run for retiring GOP Sen. Roy Blunt’s seat.

Former Senator Danforth said in an interview that he had nothing to do with the website but does want Wood to run.

Wood once worked on Danforth’s Senate staff.
