Second former Kansas GOP governor backs Democrat over Sen. Marshall

Original: Former Kansas Gov. Mike Hayden (R) became the second former GOP governor to support Democrat Adam Hamilton over Sen. Rog

Former Kansas Gov. Mike Hayden, a Republican, has endorsed Democrat Adam Hamilton in November's Kansas Senate race against incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall. Hayden is the second former GOP governor of the state to back Hamilton, a rare crossover endorsement. It underscores dissent within Republican circles toward Marshall's incumbency and adds fuel to an already competitive Senate contest in Kansas.

Why now: The bipartisan endorsement signals notable Republican defection in a key Senate race, drawing attention to internal GOP divisions
