As local and national news outlets call the race, it appears Eric Schmitt will be the Republican nominee for Missouri’s U.S. Senate seat.
CNBC, NBC, CNN, NPR, Politico and others have called the race for Schmitt, beating out Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler and former Governor Eric Greitens.
In a very early concession, fellow primary candidate, Congressman Billy Long took to Twitter to congratulate Attorney General Eric Schmitt on his victory on the hotly contested U.S. Senate race in Missouri.
While results are not final, Long tweeted his full support towards Schmitt for the U.S. Senate in the upcoming general election in November against the other party nominees.
The tweet Long sent can be seen below.
