Most polling in the race between Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and his Democrat opponent, Lucas Kunce, has shown Hawley firmly in the lead. But a couple of them have put Kunce to within shouting distance of Hawley, so one would think with that in mind (and with two weeks to go) that he'd be a little smarter, wiser in his choice of campaign gatherings and who he has tagging along with him.

Relatedly, there is currently a discussion on the Twitter/X machine about how the photos Kunce shared demonstrate "what to never do" while at a shooting range:
