Great news, and hopefully, Dems can defeat Roberts in 2020.

Yeah! This is fine. Still a toss-up, but good news for the Democrats.

Is Orman being offered a position if Kelly wins? Walker made Mallott his running mate after droping out. Btw, Begich and Walker should do the same.

I would imagine there is a big likelihood that ballots have already been printed.

ISTR that the deadline in Kansas was either 6 or 8 weeks before Election Day, both of which have passed, but I don't have a source to verify this.

Tmthforu,

Hasn't Kobach changed the law making Orman dropping out impossible?

Tmthforu,

Hasn't Kobach changed the law making Orman dropping out impossible?

The law says that he can't be taken off the ballot. It doesn't prevent Orman from just deciding to suspend his campaign. It's kind of like how a lot of the presidential primary candidates who suspended their campaigns still were on the ballot.

Breaking News

Greg Orman (I) will be dropping out of the Governor's race. It is unknown if he will endorse today but he will likely be endorsing Kelly at some point between now and Election Day. Polling suggests that his voters were split between the other two, but I would suspect this will benefit Kelly tremendously. She just became the favorite in this race.

I don't have proof yet, so you will just have to trust me and my sources for now. Announcement should come today.

You need to check up on your sources.

Ok, now there are only 2 hours left. Unless Orman is literally going to announce his decision at midnight, it appears your source was inaccurate.

If Orman does drop out, that'll definitely be good news for Kelly, though I'll still keep it as a Toss-Up for the time being. It's crazy that Sabato still has this as "Lean R."

I did not say that it was guaranteed to happen yesterday. He began informing people yesterday morning so i expected an announcement yesterday, but maybe he’s waiting for the right moment. I still expect it to happen very soon!!!

Is this real Orman dropping out? Can't find any press reports on that.

Seems doubtful. His social media accounts were touting new endorsements less than an hour ago:

Well, who is the source? No names, just a vauge position would do. I saw the rumor as well on Twitter earlier, but nobody prominent is picking it up

Ok ok ok - my source is very good, very close to the campaign. I asked for follow-up and was told it is expected early this week so I thought it might be today, but no! Orman has also pulled his advertising. Perhaps he had a change of heart, but I still suspect a withdrawal within the next few days.

I am changing the headline - not because I think my source is wrong, but going to wait until the official announcement. I wouldn't have leaked this so soon if I knew it would be several days before the announcement because I knew the haters would come after me.
