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....
Senate resolution 852, introduced by Democrat Chris Van Hollen, aims to hold Israel accountable for the killings of nine US citizens in the West Bank and the imprisonment of three others over the last four years. The resolution, which has been supported by 24 Democratic senators, is classified as a privileged resolution, meaning it can bypass regular business to command urgency in the interest of accountability.
Van Hollen expressed optimism about the resolution's chances of passing, but noted that the vote is likely to take place early next week, with the possibility of waiting until after the midterm elections if it does not. The main obstacle to the resolution is the lack of Republican support, with the Senate currently composed of 53 Republicans and 47 Democrats.
