In Indiana, Trump-backed challengers unseated five Republican state senators who had voted against his redistricting plan last year, with the incumbents losing by double digits. Roughly $12 million was spent on advertising across the seven contested state Senate races, most of it from Trump-allied outside groups. In Ohio, Vivek Ramaswamy won the Republican gubernatorial primary and will face Democrat Amy Acton, the state’s former public health director, in November. Former Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown won the state’s Democratic Senate primary.
