Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) projected that Democrat Adam Hamilton won a U.S. Senate seat in Kansas, flipping a seat in a state that had not elected a Democratic U.S. senator since 1932. According to the report, Hamilton benefited from voter dissatisfaction with U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff policy and public anger over higher fuel prices linked to the war in Iran. With 84% of the vote counted, preliminary results showed Hamilton leading Republican Senator Roger Marshall by 53% to 44%.
DDHQ called the race for Hamilton, though other television networks had not yet projected a winner at the time of the report. Based on projections from DDHQ and multiple TV outlets, Democrats had flipped five Senate seats overall: North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Kansas, and South Carolina. The party had needed a net gain of four seats to take control of the Senate, provided it did not lose any seats it already held elsewhere.
