Trump touts ‘Kansas Style Rally’ in support of Sen. Roger Marshall

The president praised the Kansas Republican and said he plans to hold a rally in Marshall’s honor.

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - President Donald Trump plans to hold a Kansas rally in support of U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall, though a date has not been confirmed. The announcement came during a lengthy social media post by the president on Monday.

The Kansas GOP told 12 News it could not confirm when Trump would visit, but said it was thankful he was coming and that the visit shows he cares about the state. Kansas is among 10 states Trump is expected to visit this month as part of a campaign blitz ahead of the November midterm elections, according to Politico.

In his post, Trump praised Marshall’s work on agriculture, taxes, energy, border security and credit card swipe fees. He then touted his own Kansas election victories in 2016, 2020 and 2024, when he received 57.2%, 56.1% and 57.16% of the vote, respectively.

The president also defended Marshall over requests for money owed by patients, saying a judge’s decisions to order arrests for missed court appearances were not the senator’s fault.

Last month, lawyers representing Marshall sent Hamilton’s campaign a cease-and-desist letter regarding a political ad focused on those allegations, but the Hamilton campaign told 12 News that they stand by the ad and vowed not to take it down.

Trump called Hamilton a “Radical Left” Democrat and made claims about Hamilton’s political donations, views and conduct as a pastor.

The president then touted his support from the evangelicals in previous elections. A February 2026 Pew Research Center survey found Trump had the support of 58% of White evangelical voters, down from 66% in January 2025.

While the president is not on the ballot this year and has an approval rating between 30% and 34%, he continues to campaign for Republican candidates ahead of the midterms and pledged $5,000 to every adult U.S. citizen if Republicans retain control of both chambers of Congress.
