Trump voters reveal their biggest fear heading into midterms — and it's not rising prices

Trump voters' stated biggest fear ahead of midterms, distinct from rising prices.

What happened: At a Trump rally in Wichita, Kansas, voters cited cost of living as a concern but said Democratic control of Congress was their bigger fear. The Kansas Senate race between Republican Roger Marshall and Democrat Adam Hamilton is now rated a toss-up. Key numbers: Six Republican-controlled Senate seats are considered toss-ups. Why it matters: The toss-up rating has sent Republicans scrambling to spend more in the state, and Trump's rally is part of a strategy to motivate Republican voters in a cycle where he is not on the ballot.
