The freshman senator’s pull massively outweighs his colleagues’ of similar background, meaning the he likely benefitted from his loud, public objection to the 2020 presidential election results. Hawley, a lawyer with degrees from Yale and Stanford, surprised many when he came out in support of Trump’s debunked voter fraud claims. Experts, however, point to Hawley’s constituents in Missouri, who overwhelmingly voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020, and his presidential ambitions as a reason for his recent ac...
