Chuck DarwinAfter 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.”
