Good morning. You're listening to Casey and Jim. It is 93 WIBC. And joining us on the WIBC hotline from the Indiana Capital Chronicle. We have Nikki Kelly. Good morning, Nikki. Morning, guys. Let's start off by talking about the Trump endorsements. He's just been railing them off lately, and I think the most curious one has been the one to Senator Liz Brown, and how that affects, I don't know, the opinion of maybe Senator Jim Banks and Attorney General Todd Rokita.

constitutional carry and that kind of thing.

So that's kind of fascinating.

What does it tell us about the relationship then between Donald Trump and Jim Banks

and Todd Rokita for that matter?

Or should we not read anything into it other than Trump is a fan of someone who once wanted

redistricting?

I think it's that, you know, he's endorsing a bunch of people who supported redistricting when he

asked for it. And she was one of the loudest redistricting supporters. So, you know, he called her

a Maga warrior, I believe.

Now, Nikki, you said that Donald Trump had about 17 endorsements that he gave to Indiana
