2016

See also:United States Senate election in Missouri, 2016

Ballotpediarated the race forMissouri's U.S. Senate seat as abattleground, in part, because of theDemocratic Party's effort to turn a state that leanedRepublican into Democratic territory. However, incumbentRoy Blunt (R) won re-election, defeatingJason Kander (D) in the general election on November 8, 2016. Blunt also defeatedJonathan Dine (L),Fred Ryman (Constitution Party),Johnathan McFarland (G), and write-in candidatesGina Bufe andPatrick Lee.

Kander's strategy was to run as a political outsider and try to paint Blunt as a Washington insider. According toThe Kansas City Star, “Kander labels Blunt the 'consummate Washington insider' and insists Blunt has lost touch with voters who sent him to the Capitol. Kander further contends that Blunt is far too cozy with lobbyists and is in fact married to one while three of his children are lobbyists.” In response, Blunt tried to tie Kander to "Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama, both of whom are unpopular in the state.”^[4]

Satellite groups also sought to influence the race by spending $44,961,510. In the last weeks of the race, theDemocratic Senatorial Campaign Committee planned to spend $3.5 million to support Kander's bid to unseat Blunt. Republicans also spent money on the race to protect Blunt's seat and their majority in the Senate. TheSenate Leadership Fund invested $2.5 million in Missouri in September.^[5][6][7]

In his concession speech, Kander encouraged his supporters, especially his young supporters, to stay involved in politics despite the results. He said, "They need to know that I'm not OK with them stepping away, that this country is a place you've got to stay invested in. This generation is not going anywhere."^[8]

In his victory speech, Blunt said, "What a great moment for our state." Blunt, who distanced himself from Trump during the campaign, was optimistic about Republican control of the presidency and Congress. He said, "A Republican president and a Republican Senate and a Republican House can do things to change this country and focus again on opportunity."^[8]
