Kansas Senate Debate Highlights Trump, Transgender Sports, and Personal Controversies
Tap title to read story
In a Wednesday night debate, Kansas Senate candidates Roger Marshall (R) and Adam Hamilton (D) clashed over President Donald Trump, immigration, Iran, transgender athletes, artificial intelligence, and personal controversies. Marshall was questioned about a New York Times review that found his former medical practice sued more than 700 patients over unpaid bills; he defended the practice’s charitable giving and business expenses. Hamilton faced questions about a volunteer at his church’s summer camp who was accused of sexual abuse; he admitted he should have prevented the individual from returning to the camp. Trump appeared via footage from a recent campaign event, prompting Marshall to say he does not always agree with the president’s agenda. The debate, held less than two weeks before Election Day, underscored the national attention on the race, with Trump traveling to Kansas earlier in the week to campaign for Marshall. The discussion set the stage for a highly contested Senate contest in a state that has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1932.
