'Frustrated and confounded': Trump fumes as GOP senator threatens White House challenge

Speculation continues to grow that Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) is gearing up for a potential 2028 presidential bid, and President Donald Trump is apparently not happy with the news, Axios reported Tuesday.

“[Trump is] somewhere between frustrated and confounded as to the reason for all of this," said an insider described by Axios as a “Trump confidante,” speaking with the outlet on the condition of anonymity.

For years, Hawley has demonstrated a willingness to break with his caucus and the White House on various issues.
