Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) announced on Tuesday that he will introduce legislation to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 from $7.25 in January 2026.

The bill reflects Hawley’s populist attitudes as he tries to tilt the party away from its yearslong opposition to raising the federal minimum wage. He previously introduced legislation with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) aimed at capping credit card interest rates at 10%.
