Josh Hawley Blasts GOP Leadership for Midterm Showing

Philip Wegmann, Real Clear Politics

The Missouri populist believes the GOP offered voters plenty in the way of generalized gripes

about Democrats and President Biden – but no actionable alternative. Hawley blames that on what he calls “Washington Republicanism,” specifically Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. He also thinks it was a bad idea to talk about making changes to Social Security and Medicare. Hawley said he will not vote for McConnell as Republican Senate Leader.
