Republicans are confronting an increasingly concerning political situation in Kansas, where a Senate seat the party has held for more than a century has become unexpectedly competitive.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) is facing Democrat Adam Hamilton in a reelection contest that recent polling suggests is within single digits, despite the Sunflower State not having elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since 1932.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on Fox Business Network’s Big Money<\/em>, Marshall was pressed about why the race remains so close.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Well, no, I think it’s the price of gasoline,”<\/strong> Marshall declared<\/a>. “It’s that simple, and I’m not sure it’s as close as what the national polls are showing. Six years ago, I was an open seat. The poll showed the same thing, and we won by 11 points. Now, I don’t think we’re going to win by 11 points right now.”<\/p>\n
