Hawley Calls Midterms a ‘Funeral for the Republican Party’

The Missouri senator was reacting to Tuesday’s midterms, where the huge gains Republicans hoped to make did not materialize.

Over in the Senate, Republicans failed to retake that body while Democrats could even net one seat, depending on next month’s runoff in Georgia.
