Kansas elects first Democratic senator in almost a century

What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on Adam Hamilton’s win over Roger Marshall and on the historic framing, with NBC News, NPR, The Guardian US, Al Jazeera, Newsweek and CBS News all describing Kansas as flipping or electing its first Democratic senator since 1932 or nearly a century. NBC News and CBS emphasize it as an upset, Newsweek calls it an “earthquake,” and The New York Times uniquely says the result was not a surprise by Election Day. The BBC extract is unrelated to Kansas and instead describes a South Carolina Senate race.
