Marshall and Hamilton Clash in Kansas Senate Debate on Diesel Prices, Trump and Immigration
Photo: Fox NewsKansas Republican Sen. Roger Marshall and Democratic challenger Adam Hamilton clashed in an hourlong debate Wednesday night, less than two weeks before Election Day, over Trump, immigration, Iran, transgender athletes and artificial intelligence. Marshall, who is seeking a second term, said Ukraine's war with Russia, not the U.S. war with Iran, was to blame for high diesel prices. Asked about a New York Times review finding that his former medical practice sued more than 700 patients over unpaid bills, he said the practice gave away $3 million to $4 million yearly but was also a business. Hamilton, a longtime pastor, is trying to become the first Democrat elected to the Senate from Kansas since 1932. Trump visited Kansas earlier this week to campaign for Marshall.
