EVANSVILLE, Ind. — President Donald Trump urged Indiana voters to unseat Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly, saying the vulnerable Democrat is “not going to vote for us on anything.”

Trump appeared in Evansville Thursday night in front of a packed house to boost support for Republican businessman Mike Braun, who is facing off against Donnelly in what is viewed as one of the nation’s most competitive Senate races.

Before a wildly enthusiastic and over flow crowd at the Ford Center, Trump called Braun a “special guy” and said he will “be a truly great senator.” Braun took the stage and pledged to be a “true ally” to Trump, “not somebody that says something when you’re in Indiana and does something differently when you’re in D.C.”

Before the rally, Trump attended a private roundtable and fundraising reception.

Trump said that Donnelly opposed his tax bill and voted against repealing President Barack Obama’s health care law, but Donnelly’s campaign pushed back by citing a study from Congressional Quarterly that shows he voted with Trump 62 percent of the time in 2017 and noting that the candidate had 22 proposals signed into law by Trump.

Trump also talked about the Indiana economy and gave a nod to Republican Governor Eric Holcomb and said that “We are putting your great Indiana coal miners and steel workers back to work’.

Trump also spoke backstage with several miners.
