INTRO: Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall is locked in a tight race to keep his seat against Democratic challenger and megachurch pastor Adam Hamilton. Kansas has not elected a Democratic senator in more than 90 years … but anger over rising costs caused in part by President Trump’s tariffs and war in Iran has made the race competitive. Senator Marshall tells Fox’s “America’s Newsroom” prices will fall after the war with Iran ends … but that depends on Republicans keeping control of Congress.
ACK: Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS)

TAG: The U-S has been blockading Iranian ports to put pressure on Iran’s economy … but Iranian officials claim the move will not force the country’s hand. Meanwhile, Iran says it struck several more oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz … and claims it still controls the waterway.
KEYWORD: Politics, Election
