Summary
JD Vance opened Republicans’ final midterm stretch in the Kansas City area on Monday, campaigning with Senator Roger Marshall in a state Donald Trump carried in 2024.
The visit signals GOP concern that Kansas is more competitive than expected as Democrats press a traditional Republican stronghold and limited polling shows a tighter Marshall race than the party wants.
Republicans are already battling difficult Senate contests in Texas, Iowa and Ohio, with high prices, the Iran war and Trump’s weak approval ratings creating broader headwinds.
Trump is due in North Carolina later this week to boost Republican nominee Michael Whatley, who trails Democrat Roy Cooper in a race Democrats see as key to retaking the Senate.
