Beveridge Insurgency Support Shifts Indiana Returns
After the election Indiana's observed returns show Beveridge led the Republican ticket, with Beveridge backed by Insurgents boosting the party's legislative ticket ahead of the congressional slate. Across districts Beveridge's candidates outpaced GOP rivals, disproving claims that Insurgency harmed the ticket and highlighting Beveridge's strong statewide performance.
