Missouri Senate Infighting: Dueling Senators and Ongoing Conflict
A proposed rule change in the Missouri Senate would allow senators to challenge each other to a duel, sparking controversy amid escalating tensions within the state's Republican faction. The move, put forth by Senator Nick Schroer, aims to address personal disputes and foster respect, but has drawn criticism from Senate leader Caleb Rowden. The Missouri Freedom Caucus, to which Schroer belongs, has clashed with leadership over legislative priorities, leading to filibusters and committee reshuffling. The proposal has sparked debate over the state of civility and integrity within the Senate.
