## Summary

Voters at Donald Trump’s rally in Wichita, Kansas, said the cost of living was a serious concern, but many feared Democrats taking control of Congress even more. Their comments reflect the stakes for Republicans in a midterm cycle that will shape the balance of power and the president’s ability to advance his agenda.

Kansas Senator Roger Marshall is seeking a second term against Democrat Adam Hamilton in a race recently rated a toss-up by the Cook Political Report. Marshall said higher petrol prices had weakened his polling, while arguing that Democratic control could bring back policies that raised fuel costs. Some rallygoers said Marshall’s experience outweighed their questions about his record and Hamilton’s lack of political experience.
