The Kansas Senate Primary Has Arrived, and the Anxiety Over Kobach Is High
Republican anxieties about control of the Senate are reaching new heights this week as the Kansas Senate primary hurtles to a close, amid fears in Washington that the firebrand candidate and staunch Trump supporter Kris Kobach could win the nomination but lose a longtime red seat in November.
As the national political environment has worsened for the G.O.P., putting a number of traditionally safe conservative seats into play, many Republicans have grown especially focused on Kansas — and concerned that if Mr. Kobach, a polarizing figure in the state, wins on Tuesday, Democrats could take the seat and perhaps gain control of the Senate.
“A Kobach candidacy could put Schumer one step closer to becoming the leader,” said Scott W. Reed, the senior political strategist at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, referring to the Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer. Mr. Reed’s group is supporting Representative Roger Marshall in the primary contest.
