Missouri Democrats react to VP Harris campaign
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (WGEM) – Democrats in Missouri are celebrating President Joe Biden’s decision to decline his party’s nomination for 2024.
After a robust message of appreciation to Biden for his unprecedented term, Missouri’s Democratic Party chair Russ Carnahan said discussions about where the state’s organization goes from here is the subject of immediate discussion.
“We have barely over 100 days left to the election, so we don’t have a lot of time to sit around and debate this, “Carnahan said. “[Kamala Harris] literally is in the poll position to do this. She said she wants to earn it.”
In terms of election messaging, gone are the complaints and worries about the Democratic candidate’s age – concerns that now rest solely on the shoulders of former president Donald Trump, who turned 78 last month. Trump will be the oldest presidential nominee in the republic’s history.
“It totally shatters that narrative, and is just a lightning bolt of energy,” Carnahan said.
On Monday, Missouri Democratic Party leaders held a meeting to discuss the organization’s position.
“It’s the first time we formally had a chance to get together as a delegation to talk about it,” Carnahan said prior to the meeting. “There’s been a lot of, you know, individual and small group conversations, but we wanted to get people together right away to have this conversation about how our delegation moves forward – and I’m pretty confident they’re going to want to do just that.”
Down-ballot candidates hope the national shakeup has an impact on voter turnout, even in states which have a strong voting record for Republicans.
“I think it’s a good move,” said Stephen Webber, a former state party chair and candidate for a state senate seat in Boone County. “I think that [Harris] running, is going to bring a lot of excitement and energy to the ticket. 105 days out, we needed some more excitement and energy. I think it’s gonna be a good thing for the Democratic party.”
Other Missouri Democrats weighed in, mostly throwing support behind the presumptive nominee, Harris.
“I think it’s the opportunity to bring a lot of younger voters, excite younger voters,” Seth Jarboe, Acting Chair, Boone County Democratic Party. “I think people are interested in seeing a different type of candidate, not what we’ve seen for the last four or eight years, but somebody different that has the ability to reach out to a wider range of individuals.”
Missouri’s Senate Democratic Leader, Sen. Doug Beck, D-St. Louis, endorsed Harris in a statement posted to social media.
“As a delegate to the Democratic National Convention, I am proud to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris to be our nominee,” Beck wrote. “Let’s go win!”
Gubernatorial candidate and House Minority Leader Crystal Quade, D-Springfield, released a statement Monday.
“The stakes of this election could not be higher- for Missouri and our nation,” Quade said. “I’m focused on running a race for Governor that focuses on investing in Missourians, restoring abortion rights, protecting access to birth control and IVF, and making Missouri a place that will thrive. I look forward to sharing the ticket with VP Harris who not only shares those values, but, like myself, has been on the front lines fighting for them.”
Voters decide the next president of the United States on Nov. 5.

As summer recreation ramps up across Missouri, safety officials are reminding residents that water safety begins long before anyone steps into a lake or river. Understanding the risks of water activities, knowing personal limits, and making responsible choices are the foundation of preventing tragedies on the water.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol and other safety agencies emphasize that natural waterways can present hidden hazards, including strong currents, sudden drop‑offs, and floating debris. Swimmers are urged to stay aware of their surroundings, use life jackets when appropriate, and avoid swimming alone.

Officials say simple precautions—such as recognizing fatigue, monitoring weather conditions, and watching out for others in your group—can make the difference between a fun day on the water and a dangerous situation. As families head outdoors, authorities encourage everyone to treat water safety as a shared responsibility.

The date for the last matchup in the current Border War series is set.
Missouri men’s basketball will face Kansas in the Border War game on Dec. 6 at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, according to a post from the Jayhawks’ official X/Twitter account Tuesday. The tipoff time and TV designation for the matchup will be released at a later date.
Kansas released its full nonconference schedule Tuesday, including the sixth and final game against Mizzou on the current competition contract.
The historic rivals have not yet signed a contract to renew the series beyond this season, according to a recent batch of competition contracts obtained by the Tribune through an open records request.
Missouri is yet to announce its nonconference schedule for the 2026-27 season, but there are three other known or reported games for this upcoming season.
Mizzou will face Howard at Mizzou Arena in the last leg of a three-game series, which will take place on a still-to-be-determined date.
The Tigers also have three more neutral-site games on their schedule. The annual Braggin’ Rights matchup against Illinois likely will fall in mid- or late- December at Enterprise Center, and Mizzou has agreed to a Nov. 15 trip to United Center in Chicago to face Marquette. Missouri also reportedly will face Saint Louis on Nov. 6 at Enterprise Center, according to Jon Rothstein at CBS Sports and College Hoops Today.
This season’s Border War matchup will include the first direct transfer between the two schools when Bryson Tiller suits up for Missouri after spending last season, his freshman year, at Kansas.
KU has won four of the five games since the series was renewed in 2021, including an 80-60 win in Kansas City last season. Missouri won the 2024-25 season matchup at Mizzou Arena, but has not beaten Kansas outside of Columbia since 2003.
