Sean Spicer says he is “absolutely” concerned about Kansas Senate race

Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer said he is “absolutely” concerned that Republicans could lose Kansas’ U.S. Senate seat, comments he made during an interview with NewsNation host Blake Burman on Monday.

The Hill reported that Burman asked Spicer whether he had any worry that Republicans could lose the seat. Spicer responded that he was “absolutely” concerned, framing his remarks around the race’s competitiveness rather than offering new policy proposals or describing any official campaign action.

According to the report, the interview comes as election handicappers suggest the Kansas contest could shift in Democrats’ favor. The Hill did not list specific handicappers or cite any particular rating model in the account of Spicer’s comments.

Spicer’s remarks add to a broader set of public statements by prominent party figures and media commentators focused on late-cycle Senate competitiveness. The Hill’s reporting positions the discussion around the possibility of a party change in the Kansas seat rather than any dispute over election administration, candidate eligibility, or court processes.

The interview also underscores the political sensitivity around Senate control math in the final stretch of a general election. While Spicer did not cite a specific metric or timeframe for how quickly the race might move, his comments echoed the risk framing described in the report.

A key element of the reported exchange is that Spicer’s concern was presented as personal and tied to the race’s outlook, not as confirmation of any verified campaign irregularity, legal challenge, or change in official election procedures. Any details beyond Spicer’s stated concern and the general handicapping premise would require additional primary sourcing.

No White House action or formal policy measure was part of the reported episode. The Hill’s account centers on the interview remarks and the competitiveness context described by election handicappers.
