Missouri’s top newspaper blasts Trumper Senator Josh Hawley, accusing him of providing “aid and comfort” to Russia, “raising his fist” in support of Trump’s January 6 attack, and stoking the “Hawley trinity: insurrection, racism, & appeasement.”

while Hawley denied in an interview that he planned to chase the White House, Cruz was more open to the idea. He said of his future ambitions: “I am committed to the fight. And the presidential campaign in 2016 was the most fun I’ve ever had in my life. And we came very, very close the last time.”
On Thursday, Hawley and Cruz spoke back to back to wind down the first day of the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando. Going first, Cruz went after big business and White House press secretary Jen Psaki — whom he called “Peppermint Patty” — while Hawley defended his decision to object to the 2020 election and said he will introduce oil and gas legislation on Monday to send a message to Russia.
That type of maneuvering, along with their tactics in the Senate, has Republicans watching the two senators very closely.
“Ted Cruz has run before. I’m sure he’s thinking about it. Josh Hawley probably is as well,” said Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), the GOP’s 2012 presidential nominee. But he explained it’s not just those two: “Tim Scott, Rick Scott, Marco Rubio: The list has gotta be long.”
Hawley and Cruz insist there’s no rivalry between them as the GOP waits on Trump’s decision on whether to run for president a third time. Cruz calls the Missouri senator “talented” and Hawley says he and his Texas colleague are not at odds.
These days, the two are proxy battling in Hawley’s home state of Missouri, where fellow Republican Sen. Roy Blunt is retiring. After Hawley endorsed Rep. Vicky Hartzler in the state’s Senate race this month, Cruz quickly followed suit and backed his own candidate, Eric Schmitt, who just so happens to have Hawley’s old job as attorney general.
Hawley declined to tell Cruz to butt out of his state: “I wouldn’t tell people what to do.”
‘If Trump doesn’t run, I think everybody runs’: Hawley and Cruz choose their paths
One denies he’s planning to run for president. The other acts open to the idea. Even in a Senate crowded with potential contenders, the two stick out.
