Josh Hawley: The GOP’s most vulnerable U.S. Senator in 2024

From his own former mentor to reliable GOP mega-donors, Josh Hawley’s support base has abandoned him. ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ {NAME}, Josh Hawley did more than just prove that he’s a fraud and a coward when he ran away after raising his fist at the Capitol on January 6th — he made himself the most vulnerable GOP senator up for re-election in 2024. FIRST: Hawley’s mentor, three-term U.S. Senator Jack Danforth — a Missouri GOP icon who cleared the field for Hawley in 2018 — says supporting him was “the worst decision I’ve ever made in my life.” THEN: Missouri GOP mega-donor David Humphreys, whose family and network gave a combined $4.4 MILLION to Hawley’s statewide campaign in 2016, called him “undemocratic” and a “political opportunist” who “should be censured by his Senate colleagues.” AND NOW: Big Tech billionaire Peter Thiel — who’s donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Hawley’s campaigns over the years — announced he won’t support any Republicans this election cycle because of their out-of-touch culture wars. Almost all of Josh Hawley’s support base has abandoned him — and a poll last month showed him facing “intensely negative sentiments” in Missouri, with 39% of voters holding STRONGLY unfavorable views. We have a real opportunity to defeat Hawley and take Missouri’s Senate seat back for the people next year, but none of this means it’s going to be easy. [DEFEAT JOSH HAWLEY »]( GOP insiders at the National Republican Senatorial Committee are already working overtime to make Josh Hawley look strong. They’ve launched a string of desperate attacks at Lucas and — on the very last day of the most recent FEC fundraising quarter — used their joint committee with Hawley to transfer $250,000 directly to his campaign. If these are the kind of resources they’re willing to spend in the off-year, it’s only a matter of time before they start spending even more to ramp up their attacks and put Hawley’s campaign in the position to win. That’s why we need your help today, {NAME}. Lucas launched this campaign early so we’d have time to raise the kind of money we need to mount a serious challenge to a corrupt, incumbent politician like Hawley and get our positive vision for Missouri in front of voters as soon, and as often, as possible.
