Republican Josh Hawley knocked off Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill on Tuesday night, denying her a third term and solidifying the Republican Party s hold on the Show-Me State.

McCaskill, one of the two Democrats holding statewide office in Missouri, emphasized her independence, promising to occasionally work with President Donald Trump and swearing in a recent radio ad that she wasnt one of those crazy Democrats. But that wasnt enough to top Hawley, the states 38-year-old attorney general and one of the most touted Republican recruits of the cycle.
