Mike Braun won election in the general election for Governor of Indiana.

Lieutenant gubernatorial candidates are nominated in a convention, not by voters in a primary.[1] The Libertarian state convention was on March 2, 2024. The Republican state convention was June 15, 2024. The Democratic state convention was July 13, 2024.

This was one of 11 gubernatorial elections that took place in 2024. The governor serves as a state's top executive official and is the only executive office elected in all 50 states. At the time of the 2024 elections, there were 27 Republican governors and 23 Democratic governors. Click here for an overview of all 11 gubernatorial elections that took place in 2024.

Heading into the 2024 elections, there were 23 Republican trifectas, 17 Democratic trifectas, and 10 divided governments where neither party held trifecta control. There were 25 Republican triplexes, 20 Democratic triplexes, and five divided governments where neither party held triplex control.

A state government trifecta refers to a situation where one party controls a state's governorship and majorities in both chambers of the state legislature. A state government triplex refers to a situation where the governor, attorney general, and secretary of state are all members of the same political party.

## General election race ratings[edit]

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

* Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
* Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
* Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[2]
* Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[3][4][5]

## Noteworthy events[edit]

### Michah Beckwith nominated as lieutenant governor (2024)[edit]

At the June 15, 2024, Indiana Republican convention, Micah Beckwith (R) won the nomination for Lieutenant Governor of Indiana, defeating State Rep. Julie McGuire (R) with 891 delegate votes to McGuire's 828.[6] According to Politico's Adam Wren, Beckwith: “...ran as an 'insurance policy' for conservatives — promising to be a 'check' on their own party’s leader after grassroots Republicans fumed at term-limited incumbent Gov. Eric Holcomb’s pandemic restrictions in 2020.”[7]

Gubernatorial nominee Sen. Mike Braun (R) and former President Donald Trump (R) endorsed McGuire.[8] Braun endorsed McGuire, saying: “Julie McGuire is a strong conservative who has lived the values of faith, family, and community. Like me, Julie didn’t come from the farm system of politics – her experience comes from the real world serving her neighbors, raising a family, and getting things done on issues like child services and health freedom.”[9]

Past state conventions traditionally saw the gubernatorial nominee's preferred pick win the nomination.[10] Isabella Volmert of the Associated Press said: “Delegates sometimes buck their leaders’ choices. In 2022, they defied Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb’s backing of the incumbent secretary of state for a second term and instead elected Diego Morales, who went on to win the general election.”[11] Leslie Bonilla Muñiz of the Indiana Capital Chronicle said: “Delegates have traditionally leaned more conservative – and more anti-establishment – than Republican general election and even primary election voters.“[6]

Beckwith said of his win: “It’s not a rebuke on Donald Trump or a rebuke on Mike Braun in any capacity,... It’s more just saying, the people want their voices represented anywhere they can be represented. Part of that representation comes at the lieutenant governor’s office.”[12]

At the convention, Braun told Beckwith: “...even though I chose someone else to be my partner, you and I have known one another. Everything you believe in, I have as well. I'm a guy that knows how to get from here to there. I'll handle it well, even when it doesn't go your way. And we will take Indiana to that next level because everything you're interested in that you've been disappointed with recently, that's gonna change.“[10] McGuire said in a Facebook post: “I am honored to have had the opportunity to travel this state hearing from Hoosiers about the issues that matter to them. I congratulate Micah Beckwith on his nomination and I look forward to supporting him, Mike Braun, and the whole Republican team this fall!“[13]

Indiana Democratic Party Chairman Mike Scmuhl (D) criticized Beckwith's nomination: “Gubernatorial candidates selected by the people should be allowed to select their potential governing partners, and Micah Beckwith’s win shows how out-of-the-mainstream extremism has hijacked the current Indiana GOP.“[14]
