Rep. Elise Stefanik, the third most senior House Republican, endorsed conservative fighter Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) for U.S. Senate on Wednesday.
“I’m proud to endorse my friend and colleague Jim Banks because I know he will work tirelessly on behalf of Hoosiers to save America,” Stefanik told Breitbart News exclusively.
Stefanik is the most senior Republican in Congress to have endorsed Banks.
“Jim Banks has been an incredibly fierce and effective conservative voice in the House of Representatives. He has championed the America First agenda and has been one of Nancy Pelosi’s worst nightmares,” she said.

Conservatives are getting ahead of the Establishment.
Banks will likely gain momentum and will be the likely nominee (and victor in November 2024.

It is not up to Mitch McConnell to select Senators from Indiana. The presumption is, that Mike Braun is leaving, but the current Governor, Eric Holcomb, will be in office until January 2025.

McConnell has been ‘selecting’ US Senators for decades now. If the people of a particular state pick somebody McConnell doesn’t like, he causes them to lose.
No, Braun hasn’t resigned yet but he announced he won’t be seeking a second Senate term and will be running for governor instead.
So this seat will be ‘open’ for a new Senator in 2024.
[[So this seat will be ‘open’ for a new Senator in 2024.]]
Some enterprising senator should offer the seat for sale
I have a friend who is a cousin to Jim Banks and she says he is all he appears to be ...
Strong Conservative etc ...
