Kansas Senate race tightens
Kansas is a key battleground for the Senate contest in November, with polls suggesting a tight race between Democrat Rev. Adam Hamilton and Republican incumbent Roger Marshall.
It would mark a huge moment if Hamilton were to win the seat, one which no Democrat has held since 1932.
Fox News Digital said President Donald Trump was expected to tout his immigration agenda in ruby-red Kansas on Monday as the Senate battle unfolds.
President Trump is campaigning tomorrow in Kansas, where Senator Roger Marshall is locked in a surprisingly close race against Democrat Adam Hamilton.
Immigration and money drive
Fox News Digital said White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis told the outlet that "President Trump stopped the invasion of our country and delivered Americans the most secure border in American history," and it added that the Trump-led Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement have touted arrests and deportations in Kansas.
Fox News Digital said Marshall pushed back on ICE’s three-day sweep in Southwest Kansas last month, dubbed "Operation Safe Community — Kansas," demanding that "when ICE operates in Kansas, it needs to coordinate with our local law enforcement."
The Kansas City Star said Adam Hamilton outraised Roger Marshall in the three months leading up to October of the heavily contested U.S. Senate race in Kansas, with the financial figures coming from a new quarterly campaign finance report filed with the Federal Election Commission.
The Kansas City Star said Marshall had about $922,000 cash on hand for his campaign, while Hamilton had about $3.2 million cash on hand for his campaign.
Farmers, tariffs, and stakes
Stephen Kalb said President Donald Trump's tariffs raised prices on farm equipment and some farm chemicals, and the attack on Iran spiked fertilizer and diesel prices.
“It's definitely concerning. I believe in a global economy.”
Kalb said, "It's definitely concerning. I believe in a global economy," and Kalb said, "Maybe the checks and balances aren't there."
The Washington Post framed the stakes for Democrats by describing John and Nancy Bowden in Salina, Kansas, saying diesel prices for their tractors are up and the value of their cattle has fallen.
LatinUS said Trump would travel to Kansas to energize a Republican base unhappy with the economy’s trajectory and to back Republican senator Roger Marshall in his tight re-election campaign in the November 3 legislative elections.
