Chris Arps, a Republican activist from St. Louis County, was banking on the 2022 election cycle being somewhat mundane an assumption that was thrown out the window Monday when U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt announced he wouldn’t run for a third term.
It’s a move that many Republicans, like Arps, feel will open up a primary that could pit statewide officials, members of Congress and former elected officials against each other.
“This is going to be a full melee in 2022,” Arps said. “2022 was looking like it was going to be a sleepy election. I don’t think so now.”

ST. LOUIS (AP) Missouri Gov. Mike Parson visited a St. Louis vaccination site Thursday and sounded optimistic about getting shots as soon as possible to all residents, even as critics in urban areas have complained that rural parts of the state are getting more than their proportional share.
The Republican governor met with residents and members of the Missouri National Guard who were giving shots at a vaccination clinic set up at Cambridge Senior Living near downtown St. Louis. Things are getting better, Parson said afterward. We re getting more vaccine in the state all the way around.
