Braun wins Indiana governor's race
Sen. Mike Braun (R) has won Indiana's gubernatorial race, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ.
The latest polling ahead of the election showed Braun with nearly a 10-point lead over his Democratic challenger Jennifer McCormick, who left the Republican Party in 2021. Former President Trump first backed Braun’s bid for governor in 2023.
Republicans have controlled all three branches of state government — the House, Senate and the governor’s mansion — since 2011. Incumbent Gov. Eric Holcomb (R) was limited to two terms, prompting Braun to leave his senate seat to run to replace him.
Braun previously served in the state’s House from 2014 to 2017. Prior to 2012, he was registered as a Democrat. He has owned a truck body manufacturing and distribution company since the late '90s.
Braun’s running mate Micah Beckwith, who will become lieutenant governor, came under fire last month after stating he would fire state employees who put their pronouns in email signatures.
