Kansas becomes the latest headache for Republicans, with Democrats eyeing a ‘miracle’ in Senate race
- Pastor Adam Hamilton is attempting to become the first Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate from Kansas in 94 years, challenging Republican incumbent Roger Marshall in a race alarming GOP officials.
- Republican incumbent Roger Marshall has recently distanced himself from President Donald Trump's policies amid record-high diesel prices, the Iran war, and economic malaise driving Trump's approval ratings to all-time lows.
- Trump's threat to ban sales from Wichita-based Bombardier, which employs more than 1,200 people, further complicated Marshall's reelection. Sedgwick County Commissioner Jim Howell said Trump's actions created "collateral damage."
- Vice President JD Vance visited Kansas last week to support Marshall, while Trump called Hamilton a "radical left lunatic" from the Oval Office. Some Republicans weigh voting for Hamilton despite preferring GOP Senate leadership.
- Former Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius said she believes in "miracles in Kansas," noting Hamilton benefits from being a first-time candidate unbeholden to party ideology as Republicans defend deep-red territory.
