Republican U.S. Senator Josh Hawley has secured a second term in Missouri, defeating Democratic challenger Lucas Kunce. Hawley's victory comes despite his highly criticized role in the January 6, 2021, effort to block President Joe Biden's victory certification and being censured for having the lowest approval rating among Republican Senators up for reelection. Hawley, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, won against Kunce, a 13-year Marine veteran and recognized leader in the fight against corporate monopoly power. The outcome highlights Missouri's shift towards the Republican Party, dominating statewide positions since 2016.
