Mike Braun wasted no time making his selection on who he would like to be his running mate. One day after winning the Republican Primary, Braun said he would prefer delegates to the State Convention pick State Representative Julie McGuire. That sets up what is likely to be a bruising race with Pastor Micah Beckwith, who has been securing delegates for months. On this week's Statehouse Happenings, Rob Kendall, Abdul-Hakim Shabazz, and Jim Merritt preview Beckwith vs McGuire this June.

Lt. Governor Race Heats Up. Braun Wants McGuire.

Abdul-Hakim Shabazz dropped a bombshell post to his IndyPolitics.org website this week when he claimed the Feds are investigating Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales. Shabazz alleges Morales is under investigation for "alleged allegations of money laundering and violating the federal racketeering statute." If indeed the allegations of investigation are true, it could be the biggest story in the history of Indiana politics. On this week's Statehouse Happenings, Shabazz joins Rob Kendall and Jim Merritt to discuss the latest on this huge story.

Shabazz Claims Feds Are Investigating Morales

The media wanted you to believe it was going to be a different 2024 for Indiana Democrats. Election Day came and Election Day went, and the results were largely the same from previous years: Double digit wins across the board for Republicans. From Jennifer McCormick running for governor, to Destiny Wells attempting to become Attorney General, it was a massive under performance based on expectations. On this week's Statehouse Happenings, Rob Kendall, Abdul-Hakim Shabazz, and Jim Merritt discuss why the Democrats keep failing to be competitive in Indiana.

More Resounding Losses For Indiana Democrats

Jennifer McCormick has made her supposed "Common Sense" approach to government a central theme of her campaign. This included trying to label Mike Braun and Micah Beckwith extremists unfit for office. Central to that, has been a statewide television ad featuring "Walter", a Republican who claimed to be fed up with radical views of both Braun and Beckwith.

But an investigation into "Walter" revealed the man in front of the camera has shared many opinions on social media that align much more with the positions of Braun and Beckwith rather than McCormick. This includes abortion, which "Walter" directly references in the ad. And Walter also isn't shy about his intense dislike for Kamala Harris and the left. Now exposed, will the hypocrisy of using "Walter" as her statewide tv face cost McCormick at the ballot box? Rob Kendall, Abdul-Hakim Shabazz, and Jim Merritt discuss on this week's Statehouse Happenings.
