Republicans Hold Senate Seat in Kansas as Marshall Beats Bollier

(Bloomberg) -- Republicans will keep a Senate seat in Kansas, the Associated Press projected, with Representative Roger Marshall defeating state Senator Barbara Bollier.

Marshall will succeed retiring Senator Pat Roberts, extending the GOP’s eight-decade monopoly on the state’s two Senate seats. Democrats need a net gain of three seats to take control of the Senate if Joe Biden wins the presidency, or four if President Donald Trump is re-elected.
