Trump to rally in Wichita as Kansas Senate race turns competitive
President Trump will hold a rally in Wichita on Monday to help Sen. Roger Marshall, as Kansas' Senate and governor races draw unusual attention in a red state.
President Trump will hold a rally in Wichita, Kansas, on Monday to support Sen. Roger Marshall's reelection bid. The Republican National Committee announced the event on Tuesday, The Hill reports.
The Hill calls the rally a sign that Republicans are watching Marshall's chances more closely. It says the Senate race has become more competitive.
NPR says Kansas is a Republican state, but both the Senate and governor's races are unexpectedly close this year. That has put attention on the party's plan to keep Democrats from winning.
NPR also reports that Kansas could elect a Democrat to the Senate for the first time in almost 100 years. In the same election, it says, the governor's office could return to Republican control. NPR notes this could be a hard year for the GOP.
ABC News ran a piece on Adam Hamilton's plan to win the Senate race. It asks whether a Democrat can take the seat for the first time in nearly a century.
