The 2018 United States Senate election in Indiana took place on November 6, 2018, along with other elections to the United States Senate and House of Representatives and various state and local elections. Incumbent Democratic Senator Joe Donnelly ran for re-election to a second term, however, he lost in the general election to Republican Mike Braun by a margin of 6%. This was the second consecutive election for this seat in which the incumbent was defeated and/or the seat flipped parties.
This was one of ten Democratic-held Senate seats up for election in a state won by Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election. In 2017, Politico described the race as "possibly the GOP's best opportunity to seize a Senate seat from Democrats" in the 2018 elections.[1] The primary election was held on May 8, 2018.[2] In October 2018, RealClearPolitics rated the race a toss-up between the Democratic and Republican nominees, with the Libertarian receiving a poll average of 6%.[3]
Instead of running for a second senatorial term in 2024, Braun campaigned successfully to become Governor of Indiana.
