Running on anti-woke agenda
Rep. Mike Banks (R-IN) announced today that he is running for the Republican nomination in Indiana for U.S. Senate. Currently serving in the House, Banks is running on an America First agenda.
Banks calculates that now is his time to make the move from the House to the Senate as Senator Mike Braun is not running for reelection. Instead, Braun is running for Governor of Indiana. The Senate race is shaping up to have the potential to be quite interesting. Potential Republican candidates, besides Banks, include Rep. Victoria Spartz, Governor Eric Holcomb, and former Governor Mitch Daniels. All have mentioned an interest in the race. Indiana is a very red state.
Rep. Victoria Spartz is a frequent guest on cable television discussing Putin’s invasion into Ukraine. She immigrated to the United States in 2000 at the age of 22 and became a U.S. citizen in 2006 so she can deliver a unique perspective on the war.
Mitch Daniels is a blast from the past in politics. He served in the George W. Bush administration, he served as governor of Indiana from 2005 to 2013, and president of Purdue University from 2013 until the end of 2022.
