Kansas Senator-elect Hamilton on Meet the Press: Prioritize the Cost of Living Over Investigations
Kansas Senator-elect Adam Hamilton appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press" on November 8 to discuss his historic victory and his priorities. Hamilton defeated incumbent Republican Senator Roger Marshall in the November 3 midterms, flipping the deep-red state and becoming the first Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate from Kansas since 1932.
Asked whether the new Congress would spend two years investigating members of the Trump administration, Hamilton said he would be "deeply disappointed" if it did. He said the bigger priority for him and for most Americans, especially people living paycheck to paycheck, is "please help us with the cost of living."
Hamilton said he wants the new Congress to focus immediately on ending the war in Iran and clawing back the Trump administration's tariff policies, putting the cost of living first.
His victory was one of the most striking results of the Democrats' 2026 midterm wave and rewrote nearly a century of Senate politics in Kansas.
