Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) will support Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) on Wednesday when Republicans choose their next Senate leader, marking the first public endorsement for Cornyn since the leadership race began. 

Hawley cited Cornyn’s ability as a fundraiser in extending his support. “In the last two years, nobody has done more to win back the majority than he has,” Hawley said in a statement.
