Hawley Answers Whether He's Planning a 2024 Presidential Run

Sen. Josh Hawley addressed speculation that he’ll run for president in 2024, saying he is proud to represent the people of Missouri and would like to continue representing the state.

"I've always said…that I'm not running for president," Hawley told Fox News. "It's a privilege to represent the state of Missouri in the United States Senate. I just got elected barely two years ago. There's a lot of work to do, and I look forward to continuing to fight for Missouri every day that I can."

According to reports, Hawley once signed a classmate's middle school yearbook, “Josh Hawley, president 2024.”
