He's speaking here not about being a US Senator who is accountable to the voters - all of them - of his state of Missouri. No he's saying the Party is what matters here, and the Party is run by its voters and so that is who he is accountable to. — PolitiTweet.org

This quote from Hawley is so so revealing, and shows something profound about how Trump-era Republicans understand themselves. "The Republican Party — if it belongs to anybody — it belongs to the voters, the people who sent us here,” he said. “That's who I'm accountable to.”" — PolitiTweet.org

Trump was very clear about this, that he represented the people that voted for him and only them. Ron Johnson has made similar noises, but Hawley is making it explicit here that he sees himself fundamentally as a party functionary, not a member of the representative government. — PolitiTweet.org
