Summary
Roger Marshall missed the start of a five-day Kansas Republican bus tour Tuesday, riding separately and boarding only after the bus reached its first stop in Newton.
That late arrival underscored a problem dogging his campaign: some Kansas Republicans say the senator is not campaigning hard enough as polls show him tied or trailing.
State party chair Danedri Herbert held the bus for several minutes while waiting for word on Marshall, then learned he would not travel with the other statewide candidates.
At the rural Newton stop, reporters saw Marshall slip aboard before he exited with the rest of the ticket to greet voters, highlighting party anxiety about time and momentum.
