Right to work brought unions out in droves. Will members vote for McCaskill or Hawley?

https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/election/article220872330.html
"Standing on his porch in Lee’s Summit earlier this month, Lance Potts, a retired union member, said he was still happy with the direction the country is headed under President Donald Trump.

But that doesn’t mean he’s voting for Josh Hawley in the battleground U.S. Senate race in Missouri. Hawley, the state’s Republican attorney general, is trying to unseat incumbent Democrat Sen. Claire McCaskill.

“Even though I voted for Trump, the rest of the people I voted for were Democrats,” Potts said.

But whether other union members, once a reliable Democratic voting bloc, return to that party or side with Trump-backed candidates could help determine who wins the hotly contested Senate race."
