U.S. Senate debate canceled after three candidates refuse to participate

THREAD: Kansas GOP has cancelled the next U.S. Senate debate. Kobach, Lindstrom and Hamilton boycotted the event because of the new format where candidates would have 15 minutes alone onstage to answer questions. Here's my story: https://t.co/EbQl2K9m4v #ksleg #kssen

Today, I spoke with Dave Lindstrom. He was pleased with the outcome. He said, "I think it was a great win for the state of Kansas because debates are a way for the voters of the state to filter who and what their candidates are standing for." #ksleg #kssen

In their joint press release, and confirmed by Lindstrom today, Kobach, Lindstrom and Hamilton plan to put together their own debate (using the normal debate format). When I asked, Lindstrom said that Marshall will absolutely be invited to participate. #ksleg #kssen
