Lucas Kunce thinks Josh Hawley is uniquely vulnerable in the increasingly red state of Missouri. But he’ll have to convince more than himself to actually get the job done.
Missouri is, decidedly, a red state.
Just months ago, Missouri Democrats lost their 2022 Senate bid by double digits. But in the 2024 cycle, Kunce argues, things could play out differently.“The difference is Josh Hawley and me, right? Like, the contrast I bring to him is so stark and so powerful, that it's something people will like,” Kunce said.
In another question asking about Kunce’s approach to populism, he described it as “taking power back for everyday people,” before comparing it to the notion of Hawley’s brand of being a populist, too. But following a trendline of Democratic politics, Kunce could face some hurdles in generating the sort of national enthusiasm that would help fund an underdog bid like his. In 2016, Jason Kander garnered widespread enthusiasm and donations while running to flip Sen. Roy Blunt’s seat. Kander was also a veteran with the sort of everyman appeal. But he fell short by just under three points.After Amy McGrath had Democrats believing she could beat Sen.
Kunce would still need to win the Democratic primary. At least one other Democrat, December Harmon, has hopped in the race for Senate. She describes herself as an “extreme leftist” and does not seem adamant on connecting her brand to Hawley. Instead, she’s hoping to tackle “Kunce also ran in 2022, but he did not win the Democratic nomination.
