Kobach was a controversial and divisive candidate who boasted strong allegiance to President Trump. Republicans believed that if he won the nomination they risked losing a seat to Democrats in a state that hasn't sent one to the Senate since 1932. Democrats agreed, and allied super PACs invested in the race to try to boost Kobach's chances.

However, one GOP strategist told NPR that while Marshall is much more likely to hold the seat, it's still not a lock in this environment."We have work to do, and it's going to take some investment," the strategist said.
