Carlin Yoder to challenge U.S. Sen. Todd Young in 2028 primary
- Former state senator and one-time state director for Donald Trump, Carlin Yoder, is considering a primary challenge against Republican U.S. Senator Todd Young in 2028.
- Yoder's potential challenge stems from criticisms against Young for not endorsing Donald Trump, supporting spending bills, voting for the Respect for Marriage Act, and collaborating with Democrats on the CHIPS Act.
- Yoder spoke to Hoosiers for a Conservative Senate, a grassroots group aiming to oust Young, emphasizing the need to lay groundwork and highlight differences when challenging an incumbent.
- Yoder stated he would be a reliable vote for the MAGA and America First communities, contrasting with Young, whose voting record Yoder described as "spotty" and unreliable for the President's agenda, despite Young's campaign advisor asserting Young is an effective conservative leader who delivers wins for Hoosiers.
- Despite criticisms and Yoder's potential challenge, Todd Young, who won reelection in 2022 by over 20 percentage points without a primary, has $5 million on hand to defend his seat, with his campaign stating the funds are to beat back any challengers.
