Indiana’s Rep. Jim Banks is 'strongly considering' run for Senate in 2024, says he would 'get in quickly'
Fox News
Republican Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana says he’s “strongly considering” a 2024 run to succeed GOP Sen. Mike Braun, who's running for governor rather than seek re-election
Banks, a former state senator and a veteran of the Afghanistan war who represents a district in northeast Indiana, is outgoing chair of the Republican Study Committee, an influential group of conservative House lawmakers. But last month Banks was narrowly edged out by Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota, the chair the past two cycles of the National Republican Congressional Committee, in the race for House majority whip, which is the number three leadership position in the incoming Republican majority in the chamber.
Braun on Monday announced his gubernatorial bid, jumping into what’s expected to be a crowded field of GOP contenders vying to succeed Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb.
