Lauren Egan reports on the tight 2026 Kansas Senate race between Democrat Adam Hamilton and Republican incumbent Roger Marshall. A recent New York Times poll indicates the contest is a dead heat, with Republicans rushing to spend millions of dollars to defend what was once seen as a safe seat. Hamilton, who used to be a pastor, argues that issues such as rising costs, healthcare concerns, tariffs, and the war in Iran are causing some Kansas voters to reconsider their support for the Republican Party. He believes Democrats can attract voters in heartland states by adopting more centrist policies. Republicans are increasingly worried about losing this historically conservative state's Senate seat after nearly a century of uninterrupted Republican control.
