美國期中選舉開票結果陸續出爐,在堪薩斯州聯邦參議員爆出超級大冷門,由民主黨62歲候選人韓密爾頓(Adam Hamilton)擊敗追求連任的共和黨馬歇爾(Roger Marshall),結束共和黨1938年以來對當地參議員席次的掌控。
據了解,上一次有民主黨候選人當選堪薩斯州參議員,要回到1932年獲勝的麥吉爾(George McGill),不過他在1938年敗給共和黨的里德(Clyde M. Reed),此後堪薩斯州參議員對共和黨來說猶如囊中之物。
據《NBC》報導,川普2024年總統大選在堪薩斯州以16%的領先優勢獲勝,可見韓密爾頓想要當選有多麼不容易,身為衛理公會牧師的他從未擔任過公職,以溫和派的態度獲得共和黨前州長格雷夫斯(Bill Graves)、海登(Mike Hayden)的支持。
在選戰的最後階段,民眾開始表現出對川普經濟政策的不滿,共和黨關聯組織被迫調派資金回防堪薩斯州、支持馬歇爾,民主黨方面見狀也投放廣告回擊,最終在共和黨手中奪回睽違88年的堪薩斯州參議員席次。
