Pete MundoHOST
This was when he was running the first time around.
Pete MundoHOST
He was a member of Congress, 1st District, and then he won that primary, and now he's, of course, at this point, running for US Senate against Barbara Bollier.
Pete MundoHOST
Here's some of the leaked audio from the time of his chief of staff.
Brent RobertsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
If they have to spend money in Kansas, they're gonna spend it, whether they hate me or not.
Denidre HerbertSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And then the same thing happened again in 2020.
Denidre HerbertSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
When Senator Marshall was competing for that open seat against Dr. Barbara Bollier, the polls tightened.
Denidre HerbertSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They were within the margin of error.
Denidre HerbertSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It looked like we could potentially lose the U.S. Senate seat, and Marshall won by 11 points.
Danedri HerbertGUEST
In 2020, same thing.
Danedri HerbertGUEST
with Dr. Marshall and Barbara Bollier.
Danedri HerbertGUEST
Polls looked tight, looked really scary.
Danedri HerbertGUEST
Oh,
John WhitmerHOST
everybody was saying Barbara Bollier was going to beat him, and what, he won by 8, 9? No, 11.
John WhitmerHOST
11, that's right.
John WhitmerHOST
11.
Grace HillsCORRESPONDENT
But I like to look at the differences between Bollier's campaign and Hamilton's campaign, because Marshall still beat Bollier by about 11 percentage points.
Brian EllisonHOST
And Barbara Bollier running for this did show her neck and neck.
Brian EllisonHOST
Everyone thought it was a toss up around Election Day.
Grace HillsCORRESPONDENT
It did.
Danedri HerbertGUEST
And then in 2020, we saw the same thing again.
Danedri HerbertGUEST
Um, at this point in the cycle, it looked like Barbara Bollier and Roger Marshall were within the, the margin of error.
Danedri HerbertGUEST
It was a really close race, and Democrats thought they were gonna finally break the hold of the Republicans in US Senate seats, and Roger Marshall won by 11 points.
Andy HooserHOST
Yeah.
Kevin KietzmanHOST
It hasn't happened.
Kevin KietzmanHOST
This isn't Barbara Bollier, okay? They've never put a candidate up like this.
Kevin KietzmanHOST
This guy's super, super smart and dangerous, and he guilts people into things.
Kevin KietzmanHOST
That is his game.
Pete MundoHOST
And yes, polling can be wrong.
Pete MundoHOST
Six years ago, it was Barbara Bollier.
Pete MundoHOST
Oh, she was gonna be the one to win for the Dems, and Roger Marshall took care of business.
Pete MundoHOST
This year is a very different climate than 2020.
Pete MundoHOST
Adam Hamilton is a much better candidate than Barbara Bollier ever was.
Pete MundoHOST
And I think part of my job is to sit here and analyze what's actually happening, not just read talking points into a microphone.
Pete MundoHOST
That's how I view the job.
RyanAUDIENCE
People are uncomfortable because you pointed out sort of the obvious, and that it might not be this drastic, but the emperor has no clothes on.
Pete MundoHOST
But right now, I see a very close race in Kansas.
Pete MundoHOST
This is not 2022.0. Adam Hamilton is not Barbara Bollier.
Pete MundoHOST
The landscape is very much different today in the state of Kansas and around the country than it was six years ago, and that's why I think it's gonna be a close race.
Pete MundoHOST
Now, gun to my head, do I think that Roger Marshall ekes it out? Yes, I do.
RyanAUDIENCE
People are uncomfortable because you pointed out sort of the obvious, and that it might not be this drastic, but the emperor has no clothes on.
RyanAUDIENCE
This is not a race that it was in 2020.
RyanAUDIENCE
Adam Hamilton is running to the right of Barbara Bollier, to the right of Laura Kelly.
RyanAUDIENCE
He's got an organic following outside of politics that isn't what those individuals had.
