[US Media Predictions: Democrats to Swap Five Seats and Approach Senate Majority, Kansas Upset] 1. Decision Desk (DDHQ), an election prediction organization, predicts that Democrat Adam Hamilton will win the U.S. Senate seat in Kansas, becoming the first Democrat to be elected from the state since 1932. He defeated Republican Senator Roger Marshall by capitalizing on voter discontent over Trump's tariff policies and the fuel price hikes caused by the Iran war. 2. Preliminary vote counts show Hamilton leading 53% to 44% with 84% of the votes counted. DDHQ has declared him the winner, but other television media outlets have not yet made predictions. 3. According to predictions from DDHQ and several other media outlets, Democrats have already swapped five Senate seats in the election, from North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Kansas, and South Carolina. Democrats only needed a net gain of four seats to control the Senate, provided they did not lose any existing seats in other states.
