ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) was Missouri Attorney General when then-Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens was under investigation and ultimately stepped down.
At the time, Hawley was an outspoken critic of the governor.
“I haven’t changed my view on that,” says Hawley.
Greitens recently announced his bid for Sen. Roy Blunt’s seat in the U.S. Senate.
Our partner station 97.1 FM Talk's Marc Cox Show asked Hawley if he'll put his public support behind Greitens as the the GOP candidate for that seat.
"I don't know about that," Hawley says. "My usual practice is to do so, but we'll just see. I've spoken about this at some lengths with the former President (Donald Trump) who is also very, very interested in the race. He understands this is an important seat that we have to hold."
Hawley says it is “absolutely vital” that Republicans maintain the seat and he’ll do his part to make that happen.
