Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on Saturday night fired back at criticism from Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Penn.), challenging him to a debate on the Senate floor over irregularities in the presidential election.

Hawley, who is part of an effort to oppose the certification of the Electoral College votes, sent an email to the Senate GOP Conference Saturday night, saying that Toomey was “making unfounded claims about the intentions of our fellow Senators.”
