Sen. John Thune speaks at annual Reagan Bean Dinner in Fort Wayne Thune is seeking to succeed Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., as the party’s Senate leader, a post he has held since 2007. Thune’s chief opponent for the position is Texas Sen. John Cronyn. It’s a secret ballot, Thune said, but he has talked to incumbent Republicans and the party’s candidates about his candidacy. One of those candidates is Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., who is running for the U.S. Senate seat held by Mike Braun, who is running for Indiana governor. “We’re not taking anything for granted, but we think (Banks) is going to win here and join us in the Senate,” Thune said.

Indiana Senate Race Intensifies Amid Unusual Endorsements and Legal Battles
The battle for the U.S. Senate seat in Indiana is heating up, with candidates who've gathered the stringent 500 signatures from each of the state's nine congressional districts officially filing their candidacies. The race has caught the public eye for several reasons, including the Indiana Republican Party's early endorsement of U.S. Rep. Jim Banks, an unusual deviation from the standard timing of such endorsements. Additionally, John Rust, an egg farmer and another contender for the seat, is challenging an Indiana law that would typically hinder his candidacy. The specifics of Rust's legal battle are not outlined in this piece.
