President Donald Trump’s victory sparks backlash in Indiana

After former President Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election overnight, Indiana politicians began sharing their thoughts.

“Kamala, you’re fired!” This was stated by US Republican Party representative Jim Banks. Banks was elected as Indiana’s next U.S. senator in the same election that Vice President Kamala Harris lost to Trump. “I am thrilled to work with President Donald Trump in the Senate to Make America Great Again.”

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb said in a statement: “Once again, I congratulate President Trump on his election to the highest office of our country and the rest of the free world. My past experience working with him during his first term gives me hope for 4 more years of strong politics and prosperity for the United States of America. His potential to do good is matched only by the historical need to show the world that America is strong and will only get stronger.”

U.S. Senator Todd Young congratulated Trump and his running mate, U.S. Senator J.D. Vance, on their “decisive victory” in a post on Xformerly known as Twitter.

“The new Trump administration and the new Republican Senate majority will work together to reverse the open border policies of the last four years and address the economic challenges facing families in Indiana and across the country,” Young said.
