Summary
Nick Roberts, an Indianapolis city-county councilor and self-described data geek, joins Abdul to break down the surprising Democratic surge in Indiana’s recent primary. They dig into why traditionally red suburbs and counties are suddenly seeing more Democratic ballots, and how MAGA-aligned groups and anti-incumbent sentiment reshaped key races. Roberts explains why these numbers should have Republicans worried heading into November — and why Democrats think they finally have a real opening in Indiana.
