Dems Break Republican Supermajority in Indiana Statehouse: Preliminary Results
Deery won 53.8% of the vote after a recount and Indiana Supreme Court review left his ballot spot intact, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Democratic nominee J.D. Ford flipped Indiana's 5th Congressional District, defeating Republican incumbent Victoria Spartz with 51.7% of the vote and becoming the first publicly gay member of Congress from Indiana.
- Democrat Natasha Baker defeated Republican state Sen. Ron Alting in the Indiana Senate last month, securing 58 percent of the vote even though Alting had announced his resignation but remained on the ballot.
- The Indiana Senate Democrat Committee poured more than $850,000 into 2026 races, while the Indiana House Democratic Caucus spent roughly $2 million, targeting competitive districts to challenge the Republican supermajority in the General Assembly.
- Following Tuesday's election, Indiana Republicans lost their supermajority in the General Assembly. While the party retains its majority, Democrats successfully flipped key seats, positioning them to disrupt legislative acts requiring a two-thirds vote.
- In at least 10 House seats with more than half the votes counted, Democrats lead according to Decision Desk. Republicans won the majority of the 29 open seats, though the political balance in Indiana shifted noticeably Tuesday.
