Missouri’s 5th congressional district race centers on incumbent Democrat Emanuel Cleaver facing Republican nominee Rick Brattin in the November 3 general election. The August 4 Republican primary produced Brattin as the nominee after a crowded field that included state Sen. Taylor Burks. Forecasters had rated the seat Solid or Likely Republican following 2025 mid-decade redistricting that shifted the district eastward to incorporate more rural, GOP-leaning counties. However, the Missouri Supreme Court’s September 3 ruling permitting a referendum on the new map and directing use of the prior boundaries for the 2026 election has shifted the competitive landscape, restoring a district profile that previously delivered comfortable Democratic margins and aligning with current trader consensus favoring the Democratic nominee.
