McCaskill, who faces a tough reelection in 2018, is one of 10 Democratic senators who is running in a state that President Trump carried in the 2016 election. She won Missouri by nearly 19 points.
While there are no declared candidates, Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) is seen as a top GOP contender for the seat.
Wagner has been mum on her plans, but following the presidential election in November, she gave up roles to serve in House GOP leadership, potentially hinting at a bid for the upper chamber.
