ST. LOUIS – St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell Wednesday announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate.
In his launch video, Bell said, "We need leaders who try to help – unlike Josh Hawley, who's in a rush to be famous and pretending to be tough while showing the world how weak he really is."
KMOX received this statement from Sen Hawley's campaign spokesperson:
"The Democrat Primary will be a competition to see which candidate can get farther to the left by ending girls sports and being soft on crime. We expect whoever emerges from the messy primary to be the darling of the woke left and raise tens of millions of dollars to try and buy this seat from Missourians."
KMOX political analysts Michael Kelley and John Hancock joined Total Information AM with their reaction to Bell's announcement.
"I did not see this coming, and I think it's a bad day for Lucas Kunce," says Hancock of the other candidate on the Democratic side.
