Marshall defended his past medical billing practices as standard business — even citing free care provided to one in five patients — while facing crowd backlash and chants of “shame on you.” Hamilton zeroed in on Marshall’s record with low-income patients and votes against expanding coverage. On trade, Hamilton slammed tariffs for hurting Kansas farmers and pilots, while Marshall credited Trump’s policies for bringing back manufacturing and boosting exports — even suggesting China benefits from Hamilton’s position. Foreign policy saw Marshall backing the Iran conflict for potential gas price relief, contrasting Hamilton’s view that it’s a costly mistake with shifting justifications. Immigration brought out Marshall’s criticism of Hamilton’s stance on ICE funding, which Hamilton clarified supports national security but opposes its politicized expansion. The exchange also included personal attacks: Hamilton explained his multiple homes are for his daughters, while Marshall defended his Florida property damaged by hurricanes — and insisted his past legal actions were routine.
