The worst news for Donald Trump may not have come from a Manhattan courtroom. In Tuesday’s Indiana Republican primary, Trump handily won the race, but zombie candidate Nikki Haley garnered nearly 22% of the GOP votes, around one-third more than her performances in April’s primaries when she was already out of the race. Haley’s gaining momentum by not running, which is not a good sign of Party unity for the top of the ticket.
In the Democratic Senate primary, Dr. Valerie McCray defeated Marc Carmichael, a former state legislator who has been the president of the state beverage association for two decades. She’ll face Republican Congressman Jim Banks for the seat in November.
Republican Indiana Senator Mike Braun won the GOP nomination for governor, beating Lt. Guv. Suzanne Crouch and former Commerce Secretary Brad Chambers, so he’ll face the one-time head of the state education system Jennifer McCormick, who ran unopposed.
