As the Indiana gubernatorial election approaches, U.S. Senator Mike Braun (R-Ind.) is confident the GOP will keep control of the governor's office. WTHR reports that Braun is favored to win against Democrat Jennifer McCormick, a former Republican and ex-state schools superintendent.

Despite polls showing Mike Braun leading with 45.3% to Jennifer McCormick's 34.3%, McCormick remains confident. Supported by women, moderate Republicans, and younger voters, she declared, "We absolutely can win, we are going to win this race," aiming to become the first Democrat elected governor in over two decades, as per the FOX 59 report.

While the Democratic Governors Association has indicated McCormick is within striking distance, trailing Braun by just three points at the time of their poll, Braun remains skeptical of the numbers, saying, "I do acknowledge that when they lifted Biden off the ticket, I think that was a trainwreck for their party into November and now they do the switcharoo," as per FOX59.

According to a report by The Washington Post, Mike Braun, aiming to extend the GOP's two-decade hold on the Indiana governorship and backed by former President Donald Trump, emphasized his experience as an entrepreneur business owner and his time in the Senate.

Meanwhile, Jennifer McCormick, who switched to the Democratic Party in 2021, is targeting "crossover" voters unhappy with what she calls extremism, promising commonsense and balance to win in historically Republican Indiana.
