Reshuffled Governor's Race Starts Anew Post-Pence

Last updated on Thursday, July 28, 2016

(INDIANAPOLIS) - Indiana’s reshuffled campaign for governor has a new look now since Republican leaders have replaced Gov. Mike Pence on the November ballot while he moves to the national stage as Donald Trump’s running mate.

Republican Lt. Gov. Eric Holcomb must quickly ramp up a campaign and has little more than 100 days to introduce himself to most voters around the state. Democrat John Gregg might need to refocus a campaign that was shaping up as a referendum on Pence in a rematch of the 2012 election that Pence narrowly won.

The next big decision will be Holcomb's selection of a lieutenant governor running mate, which is set to be formally approved by the Republican state committee on Monday. Gregg's running mate is state Rep. Christina Hale of Indianapolis.
