Josh Hawley calls for fasting and prayer after GOP losses, says party abandoned working people

U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley speaks to reporters at the governor’s ham breakfast at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia on Aug. 15 , 2024 (Annelise Hanshaw/Missouri Independent) U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley on Monday blamed Republican election losses on his party abandoning working Americans, criticizing cuts to Medicaid that he voted to approve last year. The Missouri Republican also called for what he described as a “historic response” to last week’s election: a one-hour gathering for fasting and prayer at the U.S. Capitol next month. Hawley’s comments came as Democrats prepared to take control of both chambers of Congress and Senate Republicans confronted growing pressure to reconsider their leadership and legislative priorities. “When you abandon pro-lifers, when you abandon the needy, when you abandon the poor, when you abandon working people, the American people might have something to say about that,” Hawley told reporters at the Capitol, according to CNN.

After midterms’ ‘blue wave,’ trust community organizing, not our political system

Holle Ritter | Staff Illustrator This year’s midterm election was quite the victory for the Democratic party — Democrats regained control of both the House and the Senate. The election also made history, with several states electing numerous “firsts”: Alabama’s first openly transgender state lawmaker (Allison Montgomery), Arizona’s first Indian American congressperson (Amish Shah), Nebraska’s first Latina congressperson (Denise Powell), the nation’s first Black woman governor (Keisha Lance Bottoms), and the list goes on. States that have historically leaned red, such as Texas, which hasn’t had a Democrat governor in over 35 years, turned blue on election Tuesday. The internet has been flooded with memes celebrating the “blue wave,” taking it as a sign that America’s politics are swinging in a more progressive direction. It is understandable that people across the country are elated about a predominately blue Congress.
