Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on Wednesday night defended his commitment to objecting to electoral votes during next month’s joint session of Congress, saying that “somebody has to stand up here. You’ve got 74 million Americans who feel disenfranchised.”

Hawley earlier in the day became the first senator to commit to objecting on Jan. 6, 2021, prompting criticism from Democrats.
