Kamala Harris is doing the right things, campaigning where she’s wanted, and avoiding where she’s not. And spare us the commentary around Kamala’s laugh when you have nothing but admiration for Trump’s “dance moves.”

Huh. Former GOP governor Bill Graves on why he's endorsing Democrat @hamilton4kansas.bsky.social for Senate: "I’ve just been terribly disappointed and alarmed at the congressional level in the Republicans’ willingness to yield so easily, so readily, to this executive branch."
By Praveena Somasundaram
Democratic Senate candidate Adam Hamilton, who has unexpectedly turned deep red Kansas into a toss-up, has drawn high-profile Republican supporters as he tries to pull off one of the biggest upsets of the midterms.

Two former GOP governors in Kansas, Mike Hayden and Bill Graves, endorsed Hamilton, writing op-eds, giving interviews and appearing in campaign videos in which they say his opponent, incumbent Republican Sen. Roger Marshall, is no longer the right fit for the state.

“I’ve just been terribly disappointed and alarmed at the congressional level in the Republicans’ willingness to yield so easily, so readily, to this executive branch and yielding to actions that a lot of Americans don’t think make a lot of sense,” Graves said in an interview on Friday.
