Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) announced he is endorsing Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican presidential nominee during an interview with POLITICO.
“President Trump doesn’t need to worry. I’m with him. He’s asked me several times to support him. I said yes.” Hawley explained, “[a]nd I’ve been saying for a year that I think he’s gonna be the nominee. I support him. I’m gonna vote for him.”
The announcement comes shortly after the 45th President warned both Hawley and Texas Senator Ted Cruz that the Democrats are “looking hard at the Senate races in both Missouri and Texas” in a Truth Social post over the weekend. Trump added, “Josh and Ted must be very careful, stranger things have happened!!!”
The endorsement makes Hawley the 18th GOP Senator to openly declare their support for the former President so far. More than 100 congressional lawmakers have similarly announced their support for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
