Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is drawing the ire of top Senate Republicans after he proposed legislation that would end unlimited corporate donations to PACs, a key item in the Citizens United decision that has helped bankroll top GOP groups for more than a decade.
The bill caught the attention of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who criticized Hawley during the Senate GOP lunch Tuesday, multiple senators told The Hill, and warned Republicans that they shouldn’t join Hawley’s push.
