Missouri U.S. Sen. Eric Schmitt says he has taken his name out of consideration to be the attorney general of the United States.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Schmitt said he isn鈥檛 interested in being the attorney general in President-elect Donald Trump鈥檚 second administration.
Schmitt, who is in his first term as a senator, said, 鈥淚 ran for the U.S. Senate to represent the people of the Show Me State and I鈥檓 just getting started.鈥�
鈥淚鈥檓 ready to roll up my sleeves and be a champion for President Trump in the Senate,鈥� Schmitt said.
Schmitt was first elected to the Senate in 2022 after Roy Blunt announced his retirement.
Prior to his election, Schmitt was Missouri鈥檚 attorney general.
