A Short Overview
Missouri has shifted from a former swing state to a solidly Republican one, with the GOP holding all statewide executive offices and legislative control. Democrats maintain strength in Kansas City and St. Louis but struggle statewide. Cultural politics reflect a mix of Midwestern conservatism, evangelical influence, and urban-rural divides. Key issues include economic development, crime, and agriculture. Republicans enter 2026 with a strong advantage, though urban turnout remains important for Democrats.
