Hawley Happy With Pelosi Departure

Count Missouri’s junior Republican U-S Senator Josh Hawley among those glad to see Democrat Nancy Pelosi’s departure as U-S House Speaker:

Pelosi announced Thursday that she would not seek a leadership position among House Democrats. Meanwhile, Hawley is disappointed that fellow Republican, Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, was re-elected as that chamber’s Republican leader. Hawley had supported Florida Senator Rick Scott.
