INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Republican U.S. Sen. Todd Young has won his Indiana seat for a second term. Young’s win in Tuesday’s election came after he followed a front-runner strategy throughout his campaign that largely ignored Democratic challenger Thomas McDermott. McDermott is mayor of the Lake Michigan city of Hammond. Young maintained huge fundraising and organization advantages over McDermott.

He blamed President Joe Biden and the Democratic-controlled Congress for sparking higher inflation and gasoline prices.
