Marshall GOP primary challenger backs Democrat in Kansas Senate race
Arch Naramore, who mounted a primary challenge to GOP Sen. Roger Marshall (Kan.) earlier this year, endorsed the senator’s Democratic opponent Thursday. Naramore said in a YouTube video he has “always” been a Republican. But he still threw his support behind Democrat Adam Hamilton, who is seeking to unseat Marshall in the Senate this November....
Nine US citizens have been killed by Israelis in the occupied West Bank over the past four years, according to Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen. Van Hollen, a Democratic senator, introduced Senate Resolution 852 earlier this month, aiming to hold Israel accountable for these killings and the imprisonment of three others. The resolution, pursuant to Section 502(b) of the Foreign Assistance Act, would require the State Department to provide human rights reports on countries receiving US aid, of which Israel receives the most at $3.3 billion in 2025.
With 24 Democratic senators already supporting the resolution, Van Hollen expressed optimism that a vote could take place as soon as next week, a privileged resolution that can bypass other business due to its urgent nature. However, the key obstacle remains the lack of Republican support, as the Senate is currently divided 53 Republicans and 47 Democrats.
Van Hollen urged Americans to contact their senators to support the resolution, emphasizing the need for accountability and justice for the American citizens affected by these incidents.
