The 2022 United States Senate election in Missouri will be held on November 8, 2022, concurrently with elections for all other Class 3 U.S. Senators and elections for the U.S. House of Representatives, to select a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Missouri. On March 8, 2021, incumbent Republican Senator Roy Blunt announced that he would not seek reelection to a third term in office.[1][2]

Although otherwise expected to be a safe Republican seat, members of both parties have noted that the race could become competitive if Eric Greitens, who resigned from the state's governorship in 2018 after facing a threat of impeachment over sexual misconduct allegations, wins the Republican nomination. The possibility of a Greitens candidacy in the general election has been compared to Todd Akin's from 2012. Greitens maintains that he was "exonerated" of any charges and has described the probe against him as a "witch hunt."[3]
