'Nastiest,' Most Expensive Senate Race Is Indiana's: Report

ACROSS INDIANA — With the May 8 primary just days away, the race between Indiana's GOP Senate candidates will not stop before then, as a new report says the battle is the most expensive in the U.S. According to USA Today, Indiana's Senate candidates are spending $1 million on campaign ads in the final week.

Republicans Mike Braun, Todd Rokita and Luke Messer are competing for the chance to run against Indiana Democratic Senator Joe Donnelly in the November election.

USA Today says most of the ads that are aired by candidates or outside groups have been negative, as this close race has been called the nation's nastiest primary.

Braun has been funding his own campaign and has spent the most money, as USA Today adds that if he wins on Tuesday, it would be a massive upset against the two experienced politicians.

USA Today reports Braun has spent more than $3.1 million on media ads this year, not including 2017, which combined is still more than the total spend by both of his GOP opponents, who've spent about $1.26 million each.
