Former Republican Missouri Senator and United Nations Ambassador John C. Danforth has said he regrets having endorsed Republican Missouri Senator Josh Hawley during the 2018 midterm elections since Hawley led Wednesday's Senatorial Republican challenge of the Electoral College's vote in favor of President-elect Joe Biden.
"Supporting Josh and trying so hard to get him elected to the Senate was the worst mistake I ever made in my life," Danforth said in a Thursday phone interview with the
St. Louis Post Dispatch. "[Hawley] is doing real harm. What he's doing to his party is one thing. What he's doing to the country is much worse."
