Rep. Roger Marshall won the GOP primary for an open Senate seat in Kansas on Tuesday, turning aside the controversial Kris Kobach — to the relief of Republicans concerned that Kobach would jeopardize the party’s hold on the seat.
GOP leaders have been outspoken in their opposition to Kobach since he entered the race last summer, but failed in their efforts to steer the race away from him, leaving it up in the air on primary night. Party officials couldn’t convince Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to run, and some eventually consolidated behind Rep. Roger Marshall in the closing weeks of the race.
Early returns were positive for Marshall and anti-Kobach Republicans. The congressman had more than 34 percent of the vote, compared to nearly 25 percent for Kobach, with more than 100,000 votes counted. Businessman Bob Hamilton narrowly trailed Kobach with 21 percent of the vote. Both the House and Senate primaries have been expensive, with a flurry of late spending and a crowded field of candidates leaving the threshold for victory lower and the outcome less certain. It’s also possible that the massive increase in absentee ballots could delay results for several days as all votes are counted; ballots postmarked on Tuesday can still be counted as long as they are received by the end of the week.
While controversial AOC won her primary with 70%. The Republicans the media label controversial like Kris Kobach are losing their primary. This shows you which party is the more likely to listen to the will of the people.

Outside groups spend big on last days of Kansas Republican Senate primary amid intraparty duelThe final weeks of the Kansas Republican Senate primary have devolved into millions of dollars in spending from outside groups, negative mailers and both frontrunners awaiting a possible endorsement from Pres. Trump. Both GOP groups in KANSAS want Trump's endorsement, which would be the kiss of death in any sane territory. Pompeio, the current Secretary of state of the United States, is one of the most lying secretaries in the history of the United States!
