Neighborly Indiana is turning out to be the first hotbed of Republican internecine warfare in the 2024 election cycle as early contenders for governor and Senate begin jockeying for position in primaries roughly 18 months away.
Sen. Mike Braun and Indiana Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch announced campaigns for chief executive on Monday, setting up a battle royal GOP primary for the governor’s mansion between two heavyweights from the southern end of the Hoosier State. Braun, a wealthy businessman elected to the Senate in 2018, is from tiny Jasper. Crouch, a veteran of local and state government, hails from the comparative metropolis of Evansville, along the Ohio River that borders Kentucky.
Banks, reelected in November to a fourth term in the northeast Indiana 3rd Congressional District, was recently passed over by his fellow House Republicans in his bid for the No. 3-ranking whip post, which becomes available next month when the GOP assumes the majority. With the eventual Republican nominee likely to win the general election, the GOP Senate primary could become quite crowded. Several prominent Republicans are mentioned as possible contenders.
