U.S. Senator Josh Hawley is voicing support for Donald Trump in next year’s presidential race, although he hasn’t yet officially endorsed him. Hawley told Missourinet that Trump’s nomination by the Republican party is inevitable:
Trump continues to lead all other Republican contenders in the polls. They include former South Carolina governor and UN ambassador Nikki Haley, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.
