The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the president’s plans to attend the fundraiser.
The Kansas City Star first reported on the Cass County Republicans’ invitation.
Trump first endorsed Hawley during a November trip to Missouri to tout the Republican tax-cut plan that was making its way through Congress at the time. He pledged to campaign with Hawley at a later date.
McCaskill, who is seeking her third term in the Senate, is considered among the most vulnerable Democrats up for reelection. Trump won Missouri in the 2016 election by nearly 20 percentage points.
A Real Clear Politics average of polls shows McCaskill with a 1 percentage point lead over Hawley.

McCaskill is likely to face mounting pressure to support Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, in an upcoming confirmation battle. She voted against the confirmation of Neil Gorsuch last year, which is the subject of a recently released Hawley attack ad.
