Indiana election results: Sen. Mike Braun wins GOP gubernatorial primary – Washington Examiner
Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) won a Republican primary to succeed Gov. Eric Holcomb in the Indiana governor’s mansion, breaking through a crowded six-way race that caused a record amount of spending and blanketed the state in ads.
The Associated Press called the race for Braun at 7 p.m. Eastern when all the polls closed statewide.
Braun’s close allegiance to former President Donald Trump helped fuel his Senate win in 2018 and gave him statewide name recognition in this contest. Trump gave Braun his endorsement in the gubernatorial race last November.
The one-term senator and former businessman faced competition from a crowded field that included former state Commerce Secretary Brad Chambers, Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, businessman Eric Doden, former state Attorney General Curtis Hill, and conservative activist Jamie Reitenour.
While there were limited polling numbers, Braun had consistently led his closest opponent by 20 to 30 percentage points. He will now face former Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick, who is the only Democratic candidate. Indiana hasn’t elected a Democrat to any statewide office in 12 years.
The six Republicans spent about $40 million, a record amount of campaign spending in an Indiana primary. Braun spent $6 million in the first three months of the year. Crouch, Chambers, and Doden spent $14 million together.
Braun spent more than a decade in elected office, serving in the local school board, as a state legislator and then a U.S. senator. However, he focused his campaign on the auto parts business he ran for 37 years, utilizing his private sector experience.

On Capitol Hill, Braun made his name as a fiscal hawk and as a member of the unofficial “Breakfast Club,” a group of senators consistently a thorn in the side of Senate GOP leadership. The group continues to be outspoken about prioritizing cutting government spending and border security.
Braun will likely be replaced by Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) after Braun announced he would run for governor. The Indiana congressman will face either psychologist Valerie McCray or former state representative Marc Carmichael in the general election to replace Braun. The non-partisan Cook Political Report ranks the seat as Solid Republican.

Could Bryson Tucker be Indiana’s Best Player Next Season?
While the dynamic duo of Mackenzie Mgbako and Malik Reneau should hypothetically be the most important players for the Indiana men’s basketball team next year, do not be shocked if it is the new guy in town who ends up earning the title of the team’s best overall player when the 2024-2025 season is all said and done.
Mike Woodson has a plethora of reinforcements inbound for what is shaping up to be a bounce back campaign in B-Town, but Bryson Tucker stands out as the newcomer with the potential to make the strongest impact for Indiana.
As a 6’7″, 195 pound swingman with a 6’9″ wingspan and bundles of bounce, Tucker arrives at Assembly Hall with the physical profile to make major things happen all over the court. Combine those tangible tools with his intellectual wisdom on the floor, fearless spirit and extremely deep offensive bag, and you have all the makings of a player who should be able to make those aforementioned major things happen right from the jump.
The product of Maryland has been likened to retired NBA legend Grant Hill, as well as active association elite’s Jayson Tatum and Cade Cunningham. Those comparisons may set extremely high expectations for Tucker, but when you watch him play you can undoubtedly understand these parallels.
He always seems so poised with the ball in his hands, and is extremely meticulous when it comes to getting to his spots. His midrange game is masterful, and while he certainly has some work to do from deep there is no denying the prettiness of his shooting stroke. If he can continue to make strides as a threat from beyond the arc, it is going to be a nightmare for defenders trying to find ways to contain him.
His skillset breeds a massive amount of excitement to see what he can do offensively, but defensively is where he could truly make his mark. Those previously noted physical gifts alone should earn him a ton of run hawking opposing teams’ top perimeter threats, and could even earn him some time briefly relieving the big fellas of their duties from time to time.
All things considered, it just does not seem as though Tucker is receiving the type of hype which he should be leading up to his freshman season. With so much going on over the course of the past few weeks in terms of this roster rejuvenation, it is almost as though the fanbase has temporarily forgotten about how good this true freshman can be.
Here is your sign that Bryson Tucker is about to make the candy stripe faithful permanently remember his name in 2024-2025.
