共和党人完全承认，在11月的中期选举来临之际，他们正面临政治逆风，而随着选举日临近，一场悄然变得竞争激烈的竞选正被这些逆风裹挟。
近一个世纪以来，堪萨斯州始终如一地将共和党人选入参议院。
但在这个选民对特朗普政府的举措及其对经济的影响感到不满的中期选举年，共和党参议员罗杰·马歇尔（R-Kan.）与大型教会牧师亚当·汉密尔顿之间的竞选胶着程度超出了一些共和党人的预期。
参议院共和党竞选委员会主席、南卡罗来纳州参议员蒂姆·斯科特（R-S.C.）承认这场竞选势均力敌，但仍对马歇尔能够胜出抱有信心。

“听着，我认为如果你看看堪萨斯州，这是一个竞争非常激烈的州，比我希望看到的情况更甚。但事实是，我们将在堪萨斯州获胜，”斯科特说。
共和党正试图维持并扩大其53个席位的多数优势，但面临全国范围内众多势均力敌的竞选，以及对高油价、关税和伊朗战争感到不满的选民，这可能威胁到他们对权力的掌控。
堪萨斯州原本不属于势均力敌的选区类别，但最近库克政治报告和福克斯新闻的选举实力排名将其从“大概率共和党”下调至“倾向共和党”。
“亚当提出的‘居中领导、携手合作’的信息在堪萨斯州引起了共鸣，没人应该对此感到意外，”汉密尔顿的发言人泰森·布罗迪告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

“罗杰·马歇尔过去18个月一直躲着选民，投票削减医保，支持无休止的战争，导致汽油和食品价格飙升，”他继续说道。
“堪萨斯州民众已经准备好做出改变，这就是为什么我们会在11月投票选举亚当。”
尽管如此，斯科特还是给了马歇尔和其他候选人一些可能在激烈竞选中取得成功的建议。
“我两年前就对罗杰·马歇尔和所有候选人说过同样的话：‘你只有两种选择。要么畏缩不前，要么勇往直前’，”斯科特说。“而且，坦率地说，现在不是畏缩不前的时候。
“因此，你不能只跑到终点线，你必须全力冲过终点线。我认为堪萨斯州是一个竞争激烈的州，”他继续说道。“不过，我要说的是，纵观所有数据，它们都表明罗杰·马歇尔将会成功。”

他已经得到了副总统J·D·万斯的支持，万斯本月早些时候为这位议员拉票，并向选民宣传马歇尔这位前产科医生一生都在接生，确保各行各业的母亲和儿童都能获得安全和所需的医疗服务。
“女士们，先生们，让我们支持马歇尔医生，把那些疯子赶出去，”万斯说。
他很快还会获得更多支持。参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩在周三晚间离开参议院时告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他计划前往堪萨斯州。当被问及共和党是否会保住多数席位时，图恩说：“我们当然会。”
马歇尔正寻求连任参议员，对手汉密尔顿是政坛新人，此前曾登记为共和党人，如今以中间派立场开展竞选活动。马歇尔2020年首次当选参议院议员，以11个百分点的优势轻松获胜，当时全美共和党人都因特朗普第一任期即将结束而受到冲击。
自那以后，他像许多共和党人一样，在全面掌控华盛顿期间与特朗普保持一致。
但在最近几周和几个月里，马歇尔开始与政府保持距离，比如在移民海关执法局突袭堪萨斯州南部时，他推动该机构与当地执法部门协调，或是在特朗普的贸易战持续之际，誓言为庞巴迪公司争取就业机会——这家加拿大飞机维修中心雇佣了近1500名堪萨斯州员工。

汉密尔顿也有自己的麻烦。马歇尔一直将汉密尔顿描绘成一名“觉醒派”牧师，称他曾在堪萨斯州最大的联合卫理公会会众面前就“黑人的命也是命”和气候变化等话题布道。
“随着选民对民主党人亚当·汉密尔顿了解得越来越多，他们会意识到他的观点与华盛顿其他所有觉醒派自由派如出一辙，”马歇尔的长期高级顾问布伦特·罗伯逊告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“选民们抛弃他的速度比苹果酒变质还快。”
六年前的一次布道中，汉密尔顿曾呼吁会众为食用和生产牛肉忏悔。值得注意的是，堪萨斯州是美国第三大牛肉生产州。
“我们种植的一些作物，因为我们喜欢吃，比如牛肉，最终产生的二氧化碳比我们可以种植的其他作物、我们可以选择的其他食物形式都要多，”汉密尔顿说。
“因此，在所有这些方面，我们正在增加或加剧全球温室气体的总量。”

Republicans fully acknowledge they are facing political headwinds going into the midterm elections in November, and those winds are swirling in a race that has become quietly competitive as Election Day nears.
Kansas has, for nearly a century, consistently elected Republicans to the Senate.
But in a midterm election year when voters are unhappy with the Trump administration’s actions and its impact on the economy, the race between Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., and megachurch Pastor Adam Hamilton has tightened more than some in the GOP would have liked.
Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., the Senate GOP’s campaign chief, acknowledged that the race is close but remained confident Marshall would hold on.

“Listen, I think if you look at Kansas, it’s a very competitive state, more competitive than I’d like to see it. But the fact of the matter is that we’re gonna win in Kansas,” Scott said.
Republicans are trying to maintain and expand their 53-seat majority but face many toss-up contests across the map and voters that are frustrated with high fuel prices, tariffs and the war in Iran, which could threaten that grip on power.
Kansas isn’t in that toss-up category, but it was recently downgraded by “Likely Republican” to “Lean Republican” by the Cook Political Report and in Fox News’ election power rankings.
“No one should be surprised that Adam’s message of leading from the middle and working together is resonating across Kansas,” Tyson Brody, a spokesperson for Hamilton told Fox News Digital.

“Roger Marshall has spent the past 18 months hiding from his constituents, voting to slash health care and supporting and endless war that’s led to skyrocketing gas and grocery prices,” he continued.
“Kansans are ready for something different, and that’s why we’ll vote to elect Adam in November.”
Still, Scott gave Marshall and others some advice that could be the recipe for success, even in close contests.
“I told Roger Marshall the same thing I told all the candidates nearly two years ago: “You do one of two things. You either run afraid or you run unopposed,’” Scott said. “And, frankly, it’s not unopposed.
“And, therefore, you can’t run to the tape. You have to run through the tape. I believe that Kansas is a competitive state,” he continued. “I will, however, say that, as I look at all the data, it tells me that Roger Marshall will be successful.”
GOP SENATOR ALLEGES SCHUMER BEHIND ‘HIT JOB’ REPORT ON FORMER PATIENTS

He has already gotten reinforcements in the form of Vice President JD Vance, who earlier this month rallied for the lawmaker and pitched to voters that Marshall, a former obstetrician, was a man who devoted his life to delivering babies and making sure that moms and children from every walk of life were safe and had the healthcare that they need.”
“Let’s stand for Doc Marshall and send the crazy people packing, ladies and gentlemen,” Vance said.
He will get more backup soon, too. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told Fox News Digital as he exited the Senate late Wednesday night he planned to travel to Kansas. When asked if Republicans would keep the majority, Thune said, “Of course we are.”
Marshall is eying a second term in the Senate against Hamilton, a political newcomer who was previously registered as a Republican now running a centrist-aligned campaign. Marshall was first elected to the upper chamber in 2020, cruising to an 11-point victory while Republicans across the country took hits as Trump’s first term came to an end.
Since then, he has aligned himself with Trump as many Republicans did during their time in total control of Washington.
But in recent weeks and months, Marshall has started to distance himself from the administration, like pushing for ICE to coordinate with local law enforcement as agents descended upon southern Kansas or vowing to fight for jobs at Bombardier, a Canadian aircraft maintenance center that employs nearly 1,500 Kansans as Trump’s trade wars ensues.

Hamilton has his own headaches, too. Marshall has consistently painted Hamilton as a “woke” pastor who has delivered sermons to Kansas’ largest United Methodist congregation on Black Lives Matter and climate change, among others.
“As voters continue to learn more about Democrat Adam Hamilton, they are realizing his views are just a carbon copy of every other woke liberal in Washington,” Brent Robertson, a longtime senior advisor to Marshall, told Fox News Digital.
“Voters are turning on this guy quicker than cider.”
During one sermon six years ago, Hamilton called on his congregation to repent for eating and producing beef. Notably, Kansas is the third-largest cattle producer in the country.
“Some of the things that we grow, because we like to eat them, like cattle, end up producing more carbon dioxide than other crops that we could grow, other forms of food that we could have,” Hamilton said.
“And, so, in all of these ways, we are creating or adding to the amount of greenhouse gases in our world.”
