Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) announced on Tuesday that he is running for U.S. Senate in 2024, seeking the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN). His election would add to the Senate’s Fox News Caucus of members favored by the right-wing network. Their endorsements and on-air support carried four first-time Senate candidates to their party’s nomination during the 2022 election cycle. Vance won but significantly underperformed in a redder state. Banks, if elected, would join Vance as a senator who owes his ascension to Fox and its biggest stars.
