Indiana Governor Braun Denies Interest in 2028 Presidential Run

Indiana Governor Mike Braun has publicly denied rumors that he is considering a presidential run in 2028, stating he is focused solely on his current role as governor. Braun told the Indiana Capital Chronicle and other outlets that he has no interest in a presidential campaign and does not know where the rumors originated, which contradicts a Politico report citing unnamed sources claiming he had privately discussed such a run. He emphasized his commitment to bold state initiatives, including health care, education, workforce issues, and budget reforms, highlighting his goal to be an entrepreneurial governor. Braun, a former U.S. senator and a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, stressed that he prefers the tangible impact he can make at the state level rather than returning to Washington. At recent public engagements, including speaking to Future Farmers of America students, Braun reiterated his focus on state governance rather than national ambitions. Despite speculation, Braun remains committed to his gubernatorial responsibilities and policy priorities in Indiana.
