George Will Says Josh Hawley Is Why Senators Should Be Banned From Running For President

George Will argued in his latest column for The Washington Post that former and current U.S. senators should not be allowed to run for president.

The Senate should be populated by people who actually want the job, rather than politicians who use it as a platform to boost their profiles for a White House bid, suggested the veteran pundit.

Will cited Sen. Josh Hawley as evidence.

Will wrote that Hawleymplifies the worst about would-be presidents.

He hit the ground running away from the Senate in January of 2019.

He treats the Senate as a steppingstone for his ascent to an office that is more suited to his talents.

Will's full column can be read here.
