  1. After the Indiana Republican convention this weekend, the influential conservative lawyer James Bopp Jr. wrote, in a confidential memo obtained by Politico’s Adam Wren, that
    ♦️there’s a “serious threat” to the party’s nominee for governor, Senator Mike Braun.♦️

    That threat is #Micah #Beckwith, a Pentecostal pastor, podcaster and self-described 🔸Christian nationalist
    🔸who was just chosen,
    👉despite Braun’s wishes,
    🔸to be his running mate.

    Ordinarily, The Indianapolis Star reports, convention delegates rubber-stamp their candidate’s choice of lieutenant.

    But this year, they rebelled, rejecting Braun’s selection,
    a state representative named Julie McGuire,
    for Beckwith, who embodies the combative spiritual fervor ascendant among the party’s grass-roots.

    As a result, wrote Bopp,
    ⭐️“Democrats have a real opportunity to launch a serious campaign in the fall⭐️ because of Beckwith’s nomination, and it has already begun.”
