About this episode
The episode discusses the recent Indiana primary elections and the impact of Donald Trump's endorsements on incumbent lawmakers.
On Tuesday, Indiana held primary elections for the 2026 midterms. The state Senate primaries were closely watched after President Donald Trump supported challenges against incumbent Republican state senators in response to their opposition to a mid-decade redistricting plan last December.
