Indiana Republican Rep. Jim Banks won the state’s GOP Senate primary unopposed Tuesday as he looks poised to win a promotion to statewide office this fall. Banks was endorsed by former President Donald Trump and a whole host of his would-be Senate Republican peers after GOP Sen. Mike Braun announced he'd run for governor instead of re-election. Banks had been in the middle of a primary against wealthy businessman John Rust.
He’ll face off against whichever Democrat wins their party’s primary, former state Rep. Marc Carmichael or psychologist Dr. Valerie McCray, in a state that hasn’t elected a Democratic senator in more than a decade. Braun, meanwhile, has the early lead in an expensive, multi-way GOP gubernatorial primary. The current governor, Eric Holcomb, is term-limited and can't run for the office again.
