Josh Hawley Calls for 'Fasting and Prayer' After Election, Criticizes Medicaid Cuts He Voted For
The Missouri senator invited Christians to join him for an hour of fasting after Republicans' midterm losses drew mockery online.
- On Monday, U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley announced a one-hour prayer and fasting session at the U.S. Capitol on December 15, calling last week's midterm election results "shocking and historic."
- Hawley blamed Republican losses on the party abandoning working families, criticizing Medicaid cuts he previously voted to approve while Congress funded other priorities.
- Critics mocked the event's duration, noting an hour of fasting is essentially skipping one meal; Sarah Matthews, a former Trump White House deputy press secretary, posted on X: "Sending Josh Hawley thoughts and prayers. I'm told that's an adequate response to a massacre."
- President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson have shifted blame onto voters and the media for the losses, as Democrats prepare to assume congressional control in January.
- The election results have renewed internal Republican disputes over leadership ahead of scheduled votes, with senators Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania calling to postpone elections.
