Bryan Metzger at The Business Insider reports Republican U.S. Senator Josh Hawley has positioned himself as a populist ally of Workers, which included rallying with striking United Auto Workers (UAW) Members last year - but the UAW just backed his likely Democratic opponent, Lucas Kunce, while calling Hawley a "joke."  The UAW announced its endorsement of Democrat Lucas Kunce over Hawley as the Missouri Republican seeks re-election this year.  "Josh Hawley calling himself Pro-Worker is a total joke.  There is only one candidate in this U.S. Senate race who has earned the trust of Missouri Auto Workers and that's Lucas Kunce," said Fred Jamison, who serves as President of the UAW Region 4 Midwest States Cap Council, in a statement first shared with The Business Insider.
