## U.S. Senate[edit]

### Brett Kavanaugh[edit]

Donnelly announced he would vote against conservative Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court, though he gave contradicting reasons for doing so, showing he simply opposed Kavanaugh's originalist judicial philosophy.[2]

### Hypocrisy[edit]

Despite criticizing his 2018 opponent for importing products from China for his business, Donnelly does the exact same thing.[3]

### 2018 U.S. Senate election in Indiana[edit]

Donnelly was defeated by Republican Mike Braun in the 2018 Midterm elections amidst Donnelly's openly racist campaign.[4]
