U.S. Representative Roger Marshall won the GOP contest in Kansas, ending anti-immigration firebrand Kris Kobach's campaign
The race was among a number of Congressional primary contests in five U.S. states on Tuesday. In Missouri, incumbent Representative William Lacy Clay was ousted by progressive challenger Cori Bush in the Democratic primary. Bush, a nurse, became a community activist after Black man Michael Brown was fatally shot by police in 2014.
Marshall, 59, was supported by establishment Republicans who feared a polarizing figure like Kobach, a Trump ally, could lose the traditionally Republican seat, giving Democrats a better chance of gaining control of the Senate. In an early morning tweet on Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump praised Marshall for his “great race” and gave him “my Complete and Total Endorsement”.Republicans currently have a 53-47 Senate majority, and non-partisan analysts see the competition for Senate control as either a toss-up or slightly favoring Democrats.
“SLF has been adamant from the day Kobach got in the race that he would endanger Republican control of the Senate majority,” the group said in a statement.The Kobach and Tlaib races, as well as Bush’s upset of Clay in Missouri, are testing whether each party will steer to the right or left, or stay closer to the political center.
“Tonight, Missouri’s 1st has decided that an incremental approach isn’t going to work any longer,” Bush told her supporters. Another Justice Democrat-backed candidate, Jamaal Bowman, recently ousted Representative Eliot Engel in the New York primary. Tlaib, 44, is a member of the “Squad,” four female freshmen, including Ocasio-Cortez, who have become the face of the House’s liberal wing.
