Kansas last elected a Democratic U.S. senator in 1932. Experts say Adam Hamilton's win is a "long shot," although he outraised U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall in the last quarter.

@kcur893 A historic building in downtown Kansas City could be demolished for a 20-story data center. The project has already received significant resistance from local residents and community groups, but now there’s questions about whether the developer even wants to build it. The Miami-based private equity fund, Revitalization Unlimited, has proposed tearing down the Western Newspaper Union building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

KCUR’s Cassandra Isobelle Flores reports on what’s going on with this data center proposal. 🎤Hosted by Cassandra Isobelle Flores 📹Filmed and produced by Zach Perez 🖥️Edited by Gabe Rosenberg #kansascity #datacenter #ai ♬ original sound - KCUR - Kansas City
