'Absolutely not,” RonaldKlain, Biden's recently retired White House chief of staff, said about a potential Senate run. “I’ve never run for anything.” The Indiana seat is open after SenatorBraun announced he was stepping down to run for governor.
The state's Democratic Party is looking for a national figure to represent it in a race likely to be dominated by Republicans. However, Klain, who recently retired as President Joe Biden's White House chief of staff, told Indiana Democrats that he is not interested in the position, instead taking the time to reconnect with family following the death of his mother."Absolutely not,” Klain told Politico about a potential Senate run. “I’ve never run for anything in my life.
Rep. Jim Banks is the only high-profile Republican to announce their candidacy for 2024. He said he wants to bring a fresh brand of conservatism to the upper chamber, where Democrats hold a slight majority.“I think it’s a winnable race with the right candidate who can rally rising support in the ring counties around Indy, plus pull back some lost voters in places like Kokomo, Anderson, New Castle,” Klain said. “I think Banks is too extreme for the state.
"Ron Klain would give Hoosier Democrats an incredible shot in the arm and a legitimate chance to win the open Senate seat,” Kip Tew, former state Democratic Party chairman who helped turn Indiana blue for Obama in 2008, said. “He would be an outstanding candidate, but more importantly, he would be a terrific United States senator and help make the institution a better place.”
