Kansas Senate debate: Marshall and Hamilton clash on tariffs, Iran, and fuel prices

Kansas' Republican Sen. Roger Marshall and Democratic challenger Adam Hamilton clashed Wednesday in a debate over tariffs, the Iran war, and fuel prices, with control of the Senate potentially at stake in the competitive race. Marshall warned that a loss could hand Senate control to Democrats, while Hamilton sought to portray himself as a moderate, promising not to support Chuck Schumer as majority leader. The candidates also sparred over immigration raids, transgender sports participation, and each other's past controversies. The race could hinge on Republican crossover voters, with at least 100 Kansas GOP leaders endorsing Hamilton. Early voting numbers are rivaling the 2024 presidential election, and millions in ad spending have flooded the state.
