Indiana Sen. Todd Young announces 2022 reelection campaign

Associated Press  

INDIANAPOLIS — Republican U.S. Sen. Todd Young has announced that he’s seeking reelection to his Indiana seat. Young touted his support of former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence and pointed to his support of Trump’s conservative judicial nominees and Trump’s push to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Young was a southern Indiana congressman for six years before winning the Senate seat in 2016 over former Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh. The state Democratic Party called Young a “yes man” for Republican leaders and said he shouldn’t be trusted because of his vote to acquit Trump of impeachment charges in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
