The new leader of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) seems to be following through on his pledge to do more to build a Republican Senate majority—a move that could have significant downstream implications for former President Donald Trump’s influence on the Grand Old Party.

“I’m looking forward to working with one of our top recruits this cycle, Jim Banks, to keep Indiana red in 2024,” said the NRSC’s new chair, Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), in a statement on the committee’s website after former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels announced his decision not to run for the seat.
