Josh Hawley boasts fundraising 'surge' after objecting to Biden victory

Sen. Josh Hawley raised nearly $1 million last month as he faced backlash for leading a challenge to the certification of the Electoral College’s vote for President Biden.

The Missouri Republican’s team released a memo on Monday revealing that his campaign brought in $969,000 in January. The campaign noted that the January fundraising “surge” included 12,000 new donors, the average donation was $52, and the campaign has $2.1 million on hand heading into his 2022 reelection bid.
