A top Trump political operative has been tapped to help boost Kansas Sen.
Key facts
- Marshall has faced damaging headlines recently, including a New York Times r eport that his medical practice sued more than 700 former patients over unpaid medical bills, and that 81 were later
- Hamilton, a Methodist pastor, has won endorsements from two former Republican governors in Kansas, Mike Hayden and Bill Graves
- The hiring of veteran strategist Chris Grant reflects the GOP's growing anxiety over Kansas' Senate race
- Two GOP outside groups, the Senate Leadership Fund and Club for Growth, are pouring millions into the Kansas race
Summary
The hiring of veteran strategist Chris Grant reflects the GOP's growing anxiety over Kansas' Senate race. Republicans fear losing Kansas could be a domino in costing them their Senate majority. GOP operatives have become increasingly frustrated with Marshall's reelection campaign, which they believe hasn't been aggressive enough at a time when soaring fuel prices have particularly hurt farmers in Kansas and elsewhere in the Midwest. Grant, who helped lead the main pro-Trump super PAC in 2024 and has remained involved in Trump's political operation, will be a senior adviser to Marshall and help guide strategy in the final three weeks.
