The call lasts for 1 minute 5 seconds, The Wichita Eagle reported.

"On Tuesday, Republican Ron Estes needs your vote and needs it badly," the president pitches, according to the newspaper. "Ron is a conservative leader who's going to work with me to make America great again."

Estes is facing Democrat James Thompson, a lawyer, in the special election.

National Republicans have poured last-minute resources into the race, including $92,000 in advertising from the National Republican Congressional Committee, the Eagle reported. 

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, also campaigned with Estes in Wichita on Monday, telling a rally, "Today, the eyes of the whole country are on Kansas," Axios reported.
