Rep. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., the former House minority whip, will announce Thursday in St. Louis that he is running for the seat that GOP Sen. Christopher (Kit) Bond is vacating, sources told CongressDaily. After former Republican Sen. Jim Talent announced last week that he would not seek the seat, it was widely expected that Blunt would jump in. Democratic state Treasurer Robin Carnahan has already announced she will run and has been backed by Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairman Robert Menendez of New Jersey. Blunt has press events scheduled throughout the weekend.
