O’FALLON, Mo. (AP) – Former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens has re-emerged after
nearly two years out of the public eye, fueling speculation that his resignation
after a tawdry scandal hasn’t killed his political aspirations. He won’t run for
governor this year, not at least as a Republican. The filing deadline was
Tuesday. But Greitens could run as an independent, if he can gather 10,000
petition signatures by late July. Local media have mentioned him as a possible
candidate for U.S. Senate. Greitens has said only that “anything is possible.”
He resigned in June 2018 in the midst of investigations over an extramarital
affair and campaign finance issues.
