JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri voters are deciding Tuesday whether to give Republican U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley a second term or elect Democrat Lucas Kunce, a lawyer who served in the Marines. Hawley is heavily favored to win in the state, where no Democrats hold statewide office and Republicans control both the state House and Senate.

U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley won a second term on Tuesday, cruising to victory over a well-financed rival in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat to statewide office since 2018. Hawley led Marine veteran Lucas Kunce 52% to 45% when the Associated Press called the race at 9:30 p.
