Dem Adam Hamilton Unseats GOP's Roger Marshall

A Democrat won a Senate seat in Kansas on Tuesday, and the last time that happened, Franklin Roosevelt was in his first term. Adam Hamilton, a megachurch pastor who had never held office, beat Republican Sen. Roger Marshall, with the Associated Press putting him at 51.9% to 45.2% with 91% counted, per the Washington Examiner. Decision Desk HQ called it at 10:48 p.m. Eastern, the Daily Wire reports.

Now I want to be fair to our friends on the left: they ran a candidate who says he won't back Chuck Schumer as leader. Getting elected by promising to dodge the guy you'd be voting for is the oldest trick in the party's book, and it worked on a state that hadn't fallen for it in ninety-odd years.

But the coverage ties this loss to rising costs, and that part is on us. Prices were the argument, and voters heard it from the other side. Don't let anybody tell you the voters aren't paying attention.
