By the Associated Press:
Kansas Republicans have nominated Congressman Roger Marshall for the Senate instead of polarizing conservative Kris Kobach.
Voters on Tuesday heeded the GOP establishment’s advice for keeping a normally safe out of play, even though Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and others could not persuade President Donald Trump to endorse Marshall.
Republicans haven’t lost a Senate contest in Kansas since 1932. But party leaders in Washington and many GOP activists in Kansas feared that the normally safe seat held by retiring four-term Republican Senator Pat Roberts would be in play if the party nominated Kobach.
Marshall will face Democrat Barbara Bollier in the November general election.
