Former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels decides against 2024 Senate run
Daniels said in a statement he decided “it’s just not the job for me, not the town for me, and not the life I want to live at this point.” Daniels, 73, recently retired as Purdue University president and was considering a run for the seat Sen. Mike Braun is leaving to run for governor in 2024. Last week, he visited Washington, meeting with several senators as he weighed a return to politics.
“I have never imagined that I would be well-suited to legislative office, particularly where seniority remains a significant factor in one’s effectiveness, and I saw nothing in my recent explorations that altered that view.” His decision means less turmoil for Republicans in a deep-red state. Montana Sen. Steve Daines, the National Republican Senatorial Committee chairman, said the party’s Senate campaign arm will back Banks for the seat.
