The beloved former mayor’s opinions are as sharp as ever. Here, he reflects on his time at the helm of Indianapolis and takes Indiana’s Republican Party to task.

Indiana is the battlefield. Out-of-towners are the players. Hoosiers are the deciders. A voter's guide to the candidates.

Indiana’s once-in-a-lifetime moment in the political sun has had a way humbling all five presidential candidates, as we’ve welcomed them into our watering holes, pancake houses, ice cream shops, and gymnasiums.

“The greed of UT is almost unbelievable,” Sanders told a crowd of supporters and union members. “You really can’t make this up. They have no shame. They have no sense of embarrassment.”

Trump has had plenty to say about his sports heroes and himself. And sometimes those statements strain believability. Here, a quiz to see if you can tell fact from fiction.

Word of Sanders’s visit has circulated among local media and political insiders for several days, but wasn’t confirmed until this afternoon.

“The greatest endorsement in the history of Indiana, folks,” Trump said of Knight. “What a winner. What a winner. Such a great man. You know, our country doesn’t win any more. That’s what we need right there—let me tell you.”

Trailing Donald Trump in the delegate count by a wide margin, GOP presidential aspirant Ted Cruz chose Indianapolis as the site of a bold campaign maneuver today, naming former rival Carly Fiorina as his prospective running mate.

The Texas senator is campaigning in Indiana ahead of the May 3 primary, in hopes of denying front-runner Donald Trump the delegate majority he needs to lock up the Republican nomination.

Now that Indiana's primaries mean something, the presidential candidates would be wise to get endorsements from our sports heroes.
