Braun Stays Out as Morales Faces Challenge

Governor Mike Braun is staying out of the fire as Secretary of State Diego Morales faces mounting GOP backlash over ethics scandals, including a noncitizen aide who improperly registered to vote. While key Republicans like Senator Jim Banks and Attorney General Todd Rokita have endorsed Morales’ challenger Max Engling, Braun insists he never backed Morales to begin with—and is letting the convention decide. Morales fires back, calling critics politically motivated, while Engling taps into fears of a “far left” takeover by targeting Democratic candidate Beau Bayh. Braun, ever the believer in competitive politics, says the drama only strengthens the process—and voters deserve more choices. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
