I wonder if we’ll see a McDermott vs. Mrvan rematch here if Mrvan’s seat becomes more Republican through redistricting, and Mrvan decides to run for Senate instead of re-election?
No Democrat is going to win here, but absent a Mrvan candidacy, McDermott is probably Democrats’ best recruit in this race. Its always good to have a semi-serious candidate in every race.
Why not just run a certain former 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful?Buttigieg has left Indiana politically forever and has no intention of coming back.
Some Republicans are disgruntled with Young and prefer Braun to him (I'd have it in reverse.) I don't expect anything to come of it because I'd say disgruntlement with Holcomb is higher and he's still flying high with no worries. He does have announced intended primary opposition in a Danny Niederberger. Young Niederberger finished in 11th place with 0.8% in the 5th Congressional District primary in 2020 that Spartz won. Not going to win of course, but if he can use the low-level disgruntlement to get the 4500 signatures needed to get on the ballot, probably long-term a positive for him and his name value if he intends to run for a lower-level office than Senator. Still a big ask.
