Interesting. If Braun goes for Governor, that gives Eric Holcomb an opening to remain in office as well. Holcomb and Braun could attempt to swap offices by running for each other’s seats. Holcomb likely has some interest in running for Senate, given that he briefly ran for Senate in 2016 before dropping out.

Braun could theoretically clear the field for Governor, as other Republicans considering a Gubernatorial run may find it easier to run for an open Senate seat. While Holcomb would be a strong contender for Senate, I don’t think he’d clear the field. Candidate(s) could try to run to Holcomb’s right; the Libertarian candidate for Governor in 2020 got 11% of the vote, and Holcomb is not enormously popular (but he’s also not unpopular, so he would stand a chance especially in a crowded field).

As for Democrats, this race (and the race for Governor) will not be competitive, even if a high profile candidate like Buttigieg were to run. Indiana is too conservative nowadays, and if Evan Bayh and Joe Donnelly couldn’t win, no Democrat can.

Interesting statement from Steve Daines, seems possible the field may clear for Banks. Seems odd to me that the NRSC would get involved in a primary for a safe seat.

I’m surprised about the Spartz decision. Initially it seemed like she wanted to run for Senate. It then seemed like she may not run for Senate due to Republicans coalescing around Jim Banks, but I just figured she’d run for re-election instead. I didn’t think she’d retire altogether.
