Disgraced former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens is receiving a major boost for his 2022 Senate bid from one of the Republican Partys biggest megadonors.
Richard Uihlein, a billionaire shipping and industrial supply company executive, is donating $2.5 million to a newly formed, pro-Greitens super PAC. The cash infusion will give Greitens a financial lift as many of the partys contributors shun the former governor, who resigned from office in 2018 amid allegations that he sexually assaulted his hairstylist.
Uihlein is one of the partys most sought-after givers. During the 2020 election, Uihlein and his wife, Elizabeth, donated more than $4.7 million to outfits that backed former President Donald Trumps reelection bid. Uihlein, who has a long history of bankrolling conservative causes, is a past donor to Greitens, giving more than $300,00 to his successful 2016 gubernatorial bid.
The contribution to the pro-Greitens super PAC was confirmed by two people familiar with the matter. The organization, Team PAC, describes itself as committed to electing proven conservatives and veterans to federal offices, a reference to the former governors service as a Navy SEAL.

Uihlein sounds like he has more dollars than sense.

Now we have the Democrats coming in and, surely, they will have a different policy than "America First." The problem is, how are we going to compete? We need a clearly defined policy and time to make it work.
