NBC News projects that Hamilton, a pastor and former Republican, will become the first Democrat to win a Senate seat in deep red Kansas since 1932.
Adam Hamilton has defeated Republican Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas, NBC News projects, becoming the first Democrat to win a Senate seat in the ruby red state since 1932.
The upset victory in a state Donald Trump carried by 16 points in the 2024 election gives Democrats a major boost in the fight for the Senate majority.
Hamilton, a minister at the largest Methodist congregation in the country, has never held public office and was registered as a Republican until earlier this year.
He is a Manchin or Fetterman. Mega church pastor. He is a plant to disrupt. Distrust everything about him. Many victories to celebrate, this is not one.
fetterman more likely, manchin was well known to be R, but the dems needed his votes, so they knew full well what he was.
A minister and a recent Republican. My excitement is tempered. A win’s a win, but he’s got to vote for stuff, too.
The farmers are FUCKING PISSED. Ohio, Texas, and now even Iowa and Kansas.
