Jim Banks Kicks Off Senate Bid in Indiana

Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) is launching his U.S. Senate bid this morning with a new video.

Politico: “With Mike Braun retiring from the Senate to run for governor in the Hoosier State, Banks is maneuvering to overwhelm any opposition early. But the four-term congressman and his allies are still preparing for a possible clash with Mitch Daniels, a two-term governor of the state who is weighing a bid of his own.”

“There’s more on the line than just a safe red seat. After November midterm voters rebuked several Trump-aligned candidates, the GOP is wrestling with its identity.”
