<p>Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt dominated Tuesday night in the Republican primary race for state&#8217;s U.S. Senate seat.</p>
<p>The New York Times reported that with 58% of the results counted, Schmitt was up 46.1% to Vicky Hartzler at 22.7% and Eric Greitens at 19.0%.</p>
<p>Dave Wasserman, editor of the non-partisan Cook Political Report, tweeted: &#8220;Eric Schmitt (R) wins the #MOSEN GOP primary, defeating Vicky Hartzler (R), Eric Greitens (R) and others.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">I&#39;ve seen enough: Eric Schmitt (R) wins the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MOSEN?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MOSEN</a> GOP primary, defeating Vicky Hartzler (R), Eric Greitens (R) and others.</p>
<p>&mdash; Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) <a href="https://twitter.com/Redistrict/status/1554631156359897089?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 3, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>With his victory, Schmitt significantly boosts Republican&#8217;s chances of keeping the seat after Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) announced that he was retiring.</p>
<p>There was some angst over the summer that Greitens could win and that he would face an uphill battle to win in the general election.</p>
<p>Greitens, a lifelong Democrat who became a Republican when it was politically expedient for him to do so, attacked a new pro-gun law in the state late last year, but then <a href="https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/greitens-says-he-supports-missouri-gun-law-after-blowback/article_cfeb1df2-7a26-5c63-89df-9b2dab6eb1a1.html">reversed</a> course after facing substantial backlash.</p>
<p>Over the summer, Greitens released an embarrassing campaign ad in which he stormed a house with a team of combat operators and said that he was issuing RINO (Republican in Name Only) hunting permits, which was widely condemned for implied political violence.</p>
<p>Greitens resigned from office in disgrace in 2018 rather than face impeachment over allegations of sexual misconduct and campaign-finance violations.</p>
<p>Greiten&#8217;s wife accused him of being &#8220;unstable&#8221; and violent in a sworn affidavit during their child custody battle.</p>
<p>&#8220;Prior to our divorce, during an argument in late April 2018, Eric knocked me down and confiscated my cell phone, wallet, and keys so that I was unable to call for help or extricate myself and our children from our home,&#8221; the affidavit <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/eric-greitens-domstic-violence-abuse-allegations-ex-wife/">said</a>. &#8220;In early June 2018, I became afraid for my safety and that of our children at our home, which was fairly isolated, due to Eric&#8217;s unstable and coercive behavior. This behavior included physical violence toward our children, such as cuffing our then three-year-old son across the face at dinner in front of me and yanking him around by his hair.&#8221;</p>
