NBC News, based on AP data, projects Adam Hamilton as the winner of the Kansas Senate race against Roger Marshall. At 08:07 CET the count stood at 51.0 to 46.0 percent with 95.1 percent counted. It is the first Democratic Senate win in Kansas since 1932. Adam Hamilton, a Democratic pastor, ran against Republican Senator Roger Marshall, who won the seat in 2020. Kansas also elected a governor because Democrat Laura Kelly is term-limited. It is one of five Democratic-held governorships up for election in a state Trump won in 2024, and the only one of them where Trump's margin was in double digits.
