Hawley Endorses Trump After Trump Lobs Veiled Threat

The Hill reports:

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) endorsed former President Trump for the GOP nomination for president on Tuesday, adding to his growing list of congressional endorsements. Hawley told Politico in an interview that he will back the GOP front-runner and has expected for more than a year that Trump would win the Republican nomination.

The Missouri senator’s backing comes after Trump warned him and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) about being “very careful” in their own 2024 reelection bids.

“So interesting that the Democrats are looking hard at the Senate races in both Missouri and Texas. Josh and Ted must be very careful, stranger things have happened!!!” Trump said in a Truth Social post.
