On the newest episode of the #HoosLeft podcast, I welcome our good friend @LinearRadio back to the show for an early look at the state of the 2024 races for Senate and Governor in #Indiana.

We start with the Senate race and have a look at @RepJimBanks, a Jan 6 seditionist, bully, perjurer, and founder of the ridiculously stupid "anti-woke caucus." He would be @GovRonDeSantis' mini-me if the Pinochet from Tampa Bay wasn't so mini already.
And this bozo, who would be funny if he weren't so dangerous, does not yet have a Democratic opponent. @INDems, where are we? Who is gonna be our @SenFettermanPA, our @SenSherrodBrown?
Meanwhile, the race for Governor is crowded on the Republican side. It's hard to set oneself apart in a primary full of right-wing maniacs, so Fort Wayne businessman @DodenForIndiana is giving away babies.
Lieutenant Governor @LGSuzanneCrouch would continue that kind of quiet yet effective Pence-Holcomb fascism Hoosiers have grown accustomed to. All the hate without the bombast.
The final Republican we discuss is @SenatorBraun, who hasn't always been as good about keeping the mask on. "Legitimate r@pe" disqualified Richard Mourdock in 2012. Is Braun's 1950's take on interracial marriage DQ him? Is it a plus in the GOP primary?
Finally, we discuss Democrat @mccormickforgov. Does the former Republican inspire left-leaning voters to come out? She stands against GOP overreach. Good! But what does she stand for? I need convincing. #HoosLeft would welcome her to the pod to talk about her vision.
Anyway, it's a double-stuffed episode and I hope you come along. Give us a listen. Please subscribe, share, and leave a review. #HoosLeft is available on all your favorite podcast players or through my Substack at scottaaronrogers.substack.com
