Trump Backs Roger Marshall for Re-Election, Launches Sharp Attack on Kansas Senate Rival
Former US President Donald Trump has publicly endorsed Senator Roger Marshall for re-election in Kansas, while launching a strong political attack against his Democratic opponent, Adam Hamilton.

In a post attributed to Trump and dated November 1, 2026, he praised Marshall’s record and described him as a key figure defending the interests of Kansas voters in the US Senate. Trump urged supporters to vote for the Republican senator, presenting his re-election as important for the state’s political future.
Trump highlights Marshall’s record
Trump praised Marshall for his support of lower taxes, reduced government regulation, the oil and gas industry and stricter immigration policies.
He also credited the senator with helping secure a reported $270 million investment from aerospace manufacturer Bombardier, which he said would create thousands of American jobs.
The endorsement highlighted Marshall’s support from organisations including the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the Kansas Farm Bureau. Trump portrayed the senator as an ally of his administration and a representative of conservative priorities.
Strong criticism of Adam Hamilton
The post also contained sharp criticism of Democratic candidate Adam Hamilton, whom Trump described as a radical left-wing politician.
Trump accused Hamilton of supporting policies involving refugee resettlement, gun restrictions and immigration that he argued would be harmful to Kansas. He also criticised Hamilton over his reported NRA rating and made a serious allegation concerning his handling of a child-molestation case.
These statements were presented as political accusations in the post and should not be treated as independently established facts.
Kansas Senate contest draws national attention
The endorsement places Trump’s influence at the centre of the Kansas Senate contest. His support could help Marshall strengthen his position among Republican voters and attract attention from conservative supporters beyond the state.
Kansas is an important political battleground for candidates seeking to mobilise voters around issues such as immigration, economic policy, gun rights, energy production and the role of federal government.
For Marshall, Trump’s backing offers a high-profile show of support as he seeks another term. For Hamilton, the challenge will be to present his own policy positions and respond to attacks from Republican leaders.
Campaign rhetoric intensifies ahead of voting
The post ended with Trump’s direct appeal to voters, urging them to support Marshall and describing his endorsement as complete and unconditional.
The exchange reflects the increasingly confrontational tone of American election campaigns, where endorsements from national political figures can shape media attention and influence voter perceptions.
As the Kansas Senate race develops, voters will be watching how both candidates address the major issues facing the state, including jobs, agriculture, energy, immigration and economic security.
