Indiana is about as Republican as a state can be. Donald Trump won there by 16 points in 2020, and Indiana residents haven't elected a statewide Democrat since 2012. But signs of concern have emerged late in the game for U.S. Sen. Mike Braun, the state's Republican nominee for governor.

The lieutenant governor is first in the line of succession under Indiana law. Lieutenant governors oversee four state agencies but have no real legislative power. Those limits haven’t stopped Beckwith from wading into topics he likely wouldn’t encounter on the job. Braun, a one-term senator, has represented Indiana in Congress since 2018. His campaign has focused on high healthcare costs and property taxes, as well as criticizing the federal government on southern border policy.
But the response from the Braun campaign shows he isn’t assuming he’ll win. Earlier this month, Braun aired an ad attacking McCormick as a liberal, tying her to Hillary Clinton and President Joe Biden. The ad drew attention both for its negativity in a race that was supposed to be easy for Braun and for its use of a doctored image., an idea that became a culture war flashpoint in 2023.
