#KansasSenate# More GOP money into Kansas to defend Marshall vs. Hamilton. Club for Growth is now spending $1.3M against Hamilton, per new FEC filing reported by @teddyschleifer today. Comes on top of SLF’s ~$8–10M+ and earlier Club-affiliated reservations. Race is competitive.

Carrie Dann talks about why Kansas' Senate race is a toss-up. "Almost every cycle, there is an incumbent senator who kind of gets caught napping a little bit and wakes up to the reality that, 'Oh, I actually have a competitive race,'" she told @JeffreyGoldberg.

President Trump used violent unrest in France as an argument against Democrats in his battle to defend a Kansas Senate seat long held by Republicans but in danger of falling to his political opponents

🚨🇺🇸 15 days out, here's what actually changes depending on who wins on November 3... and why the Senate matters FAR more than the House... Democrats are expected to take the House, which buys them subpoenas and investigations but almost no law, because Senate Republicans and Trump's veto stop everything else. A 50-50 Senate changes nothing either, since Vance breaks ties and Fetterman becomes the most important man in Washington. The Senate flip is the real main event. Even a two-seat Democratic majority ends Trump's judicial pipeline, likely freezes any Supreme Court vacancy until 2028 and takes the war-powers vote on Iran off Republican leadership's desk, which is why analysts expect a confirmation stampede in the lame duck if the map tips. At four seats or more, Democrats can force Trump to veto bills on tariffs, prices and the war every week until the next election. Reuters' generic ballot today is 47 to 35, Trump sits at 31%, and the Michigan, Alaska, Texas and Kansas Senate races all show Democrats ahead or tied. The House was never really the question this cycle. Whether a 53-47 Senate survives a $6 gallon of gas is, and the answer decides if the last two years of this presidency are governed by veto pen or by executive order alone.
