The 2010 United States Senate election in Missouri took place on November 2, 2010 alongside 36 other elections to the United States Senate in other states as well as elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections. Primary elections were held on August 3, 2010. Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Kit Bond decided to retire instead of seeking a fifth term. Republican nominee Roy Blunt won the open seat.
Carnahan and national Democrats have heavily criticized Blunt for his support of bailouts, calling him "Bailout Blunt." Blunt has criticized her for supporting President Obama's stimulus package, the cap-and-trade energy bill, and the health care reform bill.
Carnahan has been endorsed by the Kansas City Star, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and the St. Louis American.
Blunt has been endorsed by the Quincy Herald-Whig and the St. Joseph News-Press.
