Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) has passed on a bid to run the National Republican Senatorial Committee in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schmitt had emerged in recent weeks as a lead contender to take over for Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) atop the NRSC, but ultimately decided against potentially taking on the role, according to a top aide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSenator Schmitt was extremely grateful for support from all corners of the conference but is not going to seek the NRSC chairmanship next Congress,\u201d a senior Schmitt aide told The Hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Missouri senator has a young family, and the job is known for being a thankless one that is consumed with air travel and donor meetings. He is also being floated as a possible candidate to become attorney general if former President Trump wins in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2026 cycle also is not shaping up to be a particularly rosy one for Republicans, as there are only a couple of pick-up opportunities in Democratic seats and two of the biggest races will be for seats occupied by Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 33 seats on the map, 20 are held by the GOP. This has made it harder for the party to prod someone to take on the role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything close to being settled on that. Sometimes we have to recruit people to do that,\u201d said Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) ahead of the October recess about the NRSC gig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will force Republicans back to the drawing board for the only spot on the GOP leadership ladder without a clear candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.), another freshman member who had been mentioned as a possibility, also shot down a possible run for the post, according to a source familiar with her decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlthough several colleagues approached Senator Britt asking her to consider running for NRSC chair, she isn\u2019t interested in running for NRSC chair next cycle,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Britt is widely considered a prime candidate to a key part of Republican leadership down the road. She is a part of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell\u2019s (R-Ky.) leadership team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two names that have also been floated at times this year are Sens. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) and Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.), but both are facing reelection campaigns in 2026, making it less likely either would take on the role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
