Trump, tariffs, and health care: Key takeaways from Michigan and Kansas Senate debates

Senate candidates in Michigan and Kansas clashed over Trump, the economy, and health care in high-stakes debates, with control of the Senate potentially at stake. The contests are among the most competitive in the country ahead of Election Day. In Michigan, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed tied Republican Mike Rogers to President Donald Trump, while Rogers called El-Sayed too extreme. El-Sayed backed Medicare for All and Supreme Court changes, while Rogers opposed the policy and previously voted against the Affordable Care Act. In Kansas, Republican Sen. Roger Marshall emphasized his Trump relationship, while Democrat Adam Hamilton distanced himself from national leadership. They sparred over tariffs, with Marshall citing job creation and Hamilton warning of increased business costs.
