Voters in Indiana will choose a new governor this November, with Sen. Mike Braun and former School Superintendent Jennifer McCormick dueling in the race.
Braun is favored, but his lead has shrunk according to some polls, and Democrats see a potential opportunity for McCormick to score an upset.McCormick, who switched party affiliation in recent years, is looking to push Indiana into rolling back new restrictions on abortion care enacted since the Supreme Court reversed the Roe v. Wade decision.
Braun says McCormick’s rhetoric is “disingenuous,” given the uphill climb required for lawmakers to roll back the laws. Indiana is also a hotbed for debate over legalizing cannabis. Medicinal marijuana is still not legal in the state, with both candidates weighing in on the subject.“I have said all along that I’m going to take my cue from law enforcement,” Braun said. “They’ll be at the brunt of anything that occurs from it. In terms of medical marijuana, there’s a case to be made for it.”Feeling out of the loop? We'll catch you up on the Chicago news you need to know.
“It’s on the ballot,” McCormick said. “It’s on the ballot at every level. When you allow that to happen, that’s where that extremism becomes even more extreme.”
