Though most national Republicans have abanodoned him, Todd Akin can count on the support of the Missouri Republican Party now that the final deadline for him to drop out of the Senate race has passed and Akin has once again pledged to see the race to the end.
“Just like all of our GOP candidates elected in the August primary, the Missouri Republican Party stands behind Congressman Todd Akin in his race for United State Senate,” Missouri GOP chair David Cole said in a statement Tuesday. “[Sen.] Claire McCaskill [D] is far too liberal for Missouri—voting with Barack Obama 95% of the time since 2010 and supporting every major piece of his reckless agenda. We are confident that Todd will defeat McCaskill in November, and the Missouri Republican Party will do everything we can to assist in his efforts.”
