āSupporting Josh Hawley ... was the worst decision Iāve ever made in my life,ā former Missouri Sen. John Danforth told The Associated Press on Thursday.
āAssault on democracy: Sen. Josh Hawley has blood on his hands in Capitol coup attempt,ā read the headline of the editorial.
Hawley, who defeated Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill in 2018, was once celebrated by the Republican establishment as a rising star.
David Humphreys is president and CEO of Tamko Building Products in Joplin, Missouri, who has donated millions of dollars to Hawley and other Republicans.
Now Danforth wonders how Hawley will be able to work with his Senate colleagues, even Republicans, moving forward.
