Rep. Roger Marshall wins GOP primary for U.S. Senate seat in Kansas, defeating fmr. Secretary of State Kris Kobach, AP reports.
The race raised alarm among Republicans who feared that if a polarizing candidate like Kobach won the primary he could lose in November, putting their Senate majority at risk. Kobach has long been an anti immigration hawk and headed President Donald Trump’s task force on voting fraud that was disbanded in 2018.
Marshall will face Democrat Barbara Bollier, a state senator and former Republican, who easily defeated Robert Tillman in the Democratic primary. Voters headed to the polls on Tuesday in four other states — Michigan,where freshman Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib faced a strong primary challenge, Arizona, Missouri and Washington — in some of the last primaries left on the year's election calendar.
In Arizona, Republican Sen. Martha McSally was projected by the AP to win her primary. She was challenged by Daniel McCarthy for the GOP nomination. McSally was appointed by Gov. Doug Ducey following the death of Sen. John McCain. She will face Democrat and former astronaut Mark Kelly in November. The seat is one that Democrats are hoping to flip in the general election as they try to retake the Senate.
