Adam Hamilton becomes the first Democratic senator from Kansas in nearly a century
Democrat Adam Hamilton beat Sen. Roger Marshall, a fierce loyalist to President Trump, per a race call by the Associated Press.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on Adam Hamilton’s strong showing in the Kansas Senate race, but they frame the result at different stages. NBC News says Hamilton holds an early lead in key districts and gives him a double-digit advantage, while The Hill goes further and says he is projected to win, unseat Roger Marshall, and flip the seat blue.
