Several Indiana Republicans who defied Trump’s redistricting push may lose their primaries Tuesday night as the president’s revenge campaign claims its first scalps — but at least one was projected to hold on.
State Sen. Greg Goode, a conservative Republican and one of the more outspoken lawmakers against the plan to delete two Democratic seats, has been re-nominated for District 38, defeating his Trump-backed challenger, Vigo County Commissioner Brenda Wilson, according to The New York Times and NBC News.
Goode was one of a handful of Republican lawmakers in Indiana who faced a swatting attack at his family home after Trump criticized him by name.
The president attacked him as “No Goode” and called him an “America Last” politician in a rant on Truth Social while endorsing his opponent.
Goode may have been boosted in his re-election bid at least in part by the presence of a third candidate on the ballot, Alexandra Wilson, whose last name was the same as that of Trump’s endorsed candidate, potentially splitting the vote.
