Should Laura Kelly(D-KS) run for the US Senate? [View all]

Kelly is unable to make another/3rd term run for Governor due to term limits. The last time KS had a Democratic US Senator was in the 1930’s.
KS is more Democratic than AL,AR,ID,IN,KY,LA,MS,MO,MT,NE,ND,OK,SD,TN,UT,WV,and WY.
KS is trending Democratic
Trump won KS in 2016 by a 21 percent margin and in 2020 by a 15 percent margin.
The Republican incumbent is Roger Marshall who is MAGA Republican.
