Sen. Spencer Deery won the Republican primary in Indiana Senate District 23 after the United States state's Supreme Court ruled his name must return to the general election ballot. The September afternoon ruling follows a months-long legal battle over a recount that initially reversed Deery's lead. The decision deals a setback to former president Donald Trump, who campaigned against state lawmakers who opposed his redistricting efforts.
