Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt says he’s withdrawn his name from consideration for the Attorney General of the United States.
Schmitt says in a recent X post that he ran for the US Senate to represent the people of Missouri, and he’s “just getting started”. He goes on to say he will continue to “secure our border, make America energy dominant, and fight for the forgotten men and women of this country”.
Schmitt was believed to be one of the top candidates for the Attorney General position. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey was also listed as a potential hire for the role.
