The Kansas City Star reports:
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey won the Republican primary for the office on Tuesday, fending off an aggressive challenger in a nasty battle that pitted two candidates with virtually identical politics against each other.
Bailey, a former lawyer for Gov. Mike Parson, who appointed him to the office less than two years ago, stands on the edge of winning a full, four-year term.
Over the course of a bitter campaign, Bailey and his opponent, Will Scharf, went to ever-further lengths to demonstrate their support for former President Donald Trump as the GOP presidential nominee is criminally prosecuted.
Read the full article.
Bailey’s “ever-further lengths” have included multiple lawsuits against the Biden administration and an attempt to block Trump’s sentencing, which was slapped down by the Supreme Court this week.
Scharf is one of Trump’s criminal attorneys and last month he issued an ad (see below) in which he fired a grenade launcher at boxes representing Trump indictments.
Trump had endorsed both Bailey and Scharf, ensuring that he once again can crow about the power of endorsements. 
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has cemented his candidacy for his first full term in office in the November election. #MissouriPrimary
