参议院选举地图的最新补充正在给共和党人带来头痛。堪萨斯州威奇托 — — 罗杰·马歇尔正在落后。
The newest addition to the Senate map is giving Republicans headaches. WICHITA, Kansas — Roger Marshall was running behind.
堪萨斯州共和党人为五天的乡村巡回演讲预订的巴士周二早上空闲着，车上还有其他全州候选人。由于州党主席丹埃德丽·赫伯特正在等待参议员的消息，巡回演讲已经推迟了几分钟，一些共和党人抱怨这位参议员竞选力度不够，因为民调显示他与对手持平或落后。终于，她收到了消息：马歇尔将单独乘车。
The bus Kansas Republicans booked for a five-day barnstorming tour sat idling Tuesday morning, with other statewide candidates onboard. The tour was already a few minutes delayed as state party chair Danedri Herbert awaited word from the senator who some Republicans grumble isn’t campaigning hard enough as polls show him tied or trailing. Finally, she got word: Marshall would ride separately.
当巴士到达纽顿农村的第一站时，马歇尔悄悄上了车 — — 并被正在做此事的记者发现。随后，他加入了其他候选人，一起下车迎接人群，仿佛他一直都在那里。
As the bus reached its first stop in rural Newton, Marshall crept aboard — and was spotted by reporters doing so. He then joined the other candidates exiting to greet the crowd like he’d been there the whole time.
