Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R) “has captured the Republican nomination for governor after the tightest primary fight in Kansas history, edging out the state’s sitting governor,” the Kansas City Star reports.
“Gov. Jeff Colyer (R) announced his concession Tuesday night after he failed to narrow the gap with Kobach when provisional ballots in Johnson County were tallied.”
