Braun rails against foreign outsourcing on the campaign trail, even as his own company continues to sell its trademarked brand of auto accessories, many of which are made in China. Braun frequently criticizes his opponent, vulnerable red-state Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly, for once owning stock in a family business his brother runs that operates a factory in Mexico. However, the Republican nominee's own parts brand, Promaxx Automotive, sells products that were similarly manufactured abroad, according to a review by The Associated Press.

INDIANAPOLIS — In a recent post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump announced a $15.1 million disaster relief fund for Indiana to aid communities impacted by severe storms earlier this year.

In the post, Trump praised Governor Mike Braun’s leadership and expressed confidence in the state’s recovery efforts, stating he had spoken with Braun about the allocation.

In response, Braun thanked Trump on X (formerly Twitter), emphasizing that the funding is crucial for helping Hoosier communities rebuild.

In April, Governor Braun declared a state of emergency for 18 counties affected by the storms, which led to significant damage and two fatalities.

The Indiana National Guard was also mobilized to assist in recovery efforts across 41 counties.
