Republican candidates vying for Indiana governor to take debate stage
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Candidates seeking the Republican nomination for Indiana’s next governor will take to the debate stage Tuesday night, two weeks ahead of the state’s May 7 primary election.
Each of the six candidates in the competitive, multi-million dollar primary race have cast themselves as an outsider in an appeal to conservative voters, despite five holding statewide roles at some point. Whoever wins the primary is most likely to take the November general election in a state that reliably elects Republicans.
Tuesday is the last televised debate before the primary for the candidates vying to replace term-limited Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb, who has not endorsed a candidate. Early voting has already started in Indiana.
U.S. Sen. Mike Braun, who flipped a Democratic Senate seat in 2018, boasts such advantages as name recognition, money and former President Donald Trump’s endorsement. Braun’s campaign spent over $6 million in 2024, according to the latest summary report. But he may not be able to attend the debate because of Senate votes that begin Tuesday in Washington on aid packages for Ukraine and Israel.
Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch — another familiar name thanks to running twice with Holcomb — has campaigned to slash the state’s income tax and promised to boost addiction and mental illness services. Crouch ended the most recent fundraising period with $3 million — the most cash on hand of any Indiana gubernatorial candidate. But she spent only $2.1 million in the first three months of the year.
Businessperson and former commerce secretary Brad Chambers ‘ messaging is more moderate than the other candidates, focusing on the economy. Chambers spent $6.7 million this year and reports show he has contributed $8 million to his campaign.
The top priorities for Eric Doden, also a former state’s commerce secretary, include a plan to invest in Indiana’s small towns. He spent $5.2 million in the first three months of this year and last reported having about $250,000 of cash on hand.
Once a rising star in Indiana politics, former Attorney General Curtis Hill has struggled to compete. Hill lost the Republican delegation nomination in 2020 following allegations that he groped four women in 2018. Also running is Jamie Reitenour, a mother with no political experience, with backing of Hamilton County Moms For Liberty. She has said she would appoint its leader to head the state education department.

Indiana Pacers vs. New York Knicks | NBA Playoffs
As the 2024 NBA Playoffs continue, the Indiana Pacers (6) and the New York Knicks (2) are set to reignite their rivalry in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The road to this anticipated rematch was paved with nail-biting Game 5 showdowns, but both teams emerged victorious. Tom Thibodeau’s defensive-minded Knicks face the daunting task of containing the Pacers’ high-octane offense, known for its relentless pace and sharpshooting prowess.
All eyes are on the battle of the point guards: Jalen Brunson of the Knicks and Tyrese Haliburton of the Pacers, former All-Star teammates. Brunson has risen to the occasion amidst the challenges posed by injuries to key teammates. Haliburton’s playmaking has been the driving force behind the Pacers’ offense, leading the league in assists.
For the Knicks, the return of OG Anunoby adds a new dimension to their lineup, as he gears up to face his former teammate Pascal Siakam. Meanwhile, Pacers’ veteran Myles Turner brings a wealth of playoff experience to the forefront, poised to make his mark after advancing past the first round for the first time in his career.
With a trip to the conference finals hanging in the balance, the outcome of this matchup could very well define the series.

Indiana Pacers to play two games in Paris vs San Antonio Spurs in January of 2025
Earlier this week, the NBA announced that the Indiana Pacers and San Antonio Spurs will face off in the 2025 NBA Paris Games.
The announcement says that the two games will be in January of 2025. The Spurs currently roster French phenom Victor Wembanyama while the Pacers don’t currently have any French players. Per the announcement, it will be the third and fourth games in Paris for the Spurs but the first for the Pacers.
Previous reporting suggested that this announcement could be coming. “I’m looking forward to it very much,” Wembanyama said, per ESPN. To date, the NBA has played seven times in Paris, and the 2024 Olympics will be held there.
In 2024, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Brooklyn Nets battled at Accor Arena in Paris. They only played one game, though, while the Pacers and Spurs will play in two.
In the past, Indiana has played in Berlin, Seville, Taipei, Beijing, Manila, and Mumbai for preseason outings. Back in 2017, Indiana faced the Denver Nuggets in London for the NBA’s Global Games series.
Indiana and San Antonio split their two games this season, with the Spurs winning the more recent battle. The NBA France twitter account shared that the games will be on January 23 and 25, 2025.
A previous release from the NBA explained that there have been more NBA players from France than from any other country outside North America. The league is becoming more popular in France, and the Pacers will now be a part of it.
