Kansas Senate race tightens as Democrat Adam Hamilton and Sen. Roger Marshall near a tie in polls

Left-leaning outlets report that Kansas, a red state, has a competitive Senate race, with polls showing Republican Sen. Roger Marshall one point behind Democrat Adam Hamilton. They ask whether the state could elect its first Democratic senator since 1932. Alternative outlets agree on the basic picture: Kansas has not elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate in nearly 100 years, and Hamilton, a megachurch pastor, is running a surprisingly competitive race against Marshall. CBS News adds that President Trump will return to the campaign trail on Monday in Kansas as the midterms approach.
