OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — Two doctors running for Kansas' open Senate seat have moved to different political poles on the coronavirus pandemic.

Republican Rep. Roger Marshall takes a weekly dose of an anti-malaria drug that President Donald Trump has touted to ward off infection. When Marshall spoke to a recent GOP lunch meeting in the Kansas City area, his audience crowded into a restaurant banquet room and didn't wear masks.

Democrat Barbara Bollier has had mostly virtual events and her first in-person event of the fall campaign featured a few people standing in a socially distanced circle outside a school.

The candidates' different approaches reflect a partisan divide in the U.S.
