Roy Blunt won't run for Senate seat in 2022
By Jordain Carney - 03/08/21 10:19 AM EST Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), a member of GOP leadership, announced on Monday that he won't run for reelection in 2022 — marking the latest high-profile retirement for Senate Republicans.
“After 14 General Election victories — three to county office, seven to the United States House of Representatives, and four statewide elections — I won’t be a candidate for reelection to the United States Senate next year," Blunt said in a video.
Blunt said that he will finish out his current term, which runs through 2022. He's the fifth Senate Republican expected to not seek reelection.
Sens. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) have all announced that they will retire at the end of their current term. Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) has also previously indicated he won't run for reelection.
