密苏里州参议院领袖卡莱布·罗登宣布退出国务卿竞选，理由是密苏里州共和党内部存在深刻分歧以及政治动态的变化。 Missouri Senate leader Caleb Rowden has announced his withdrawal from the Secretary of State race, citing deep divisions within the Missouri Republican party and the changing dynamics of politics. 共和党人罗登表示，自他 12 年前开始任职以来，民选政客的激励结构发生了变化，导致共识建设发生了转变。 Rowden, a Republican, stated that the incentive structures for elected politicians have changed since he began serving in office 12 years ago, leading to a shift in consensus-building. 临时参议院议长去年11月曾宣布竞选国务卿。 The Senate President Pro Tem previously announced his candidacy for Secretary of State in November last year.
