^Bradner، Eric (6 مايو 2018). "A leading candidate in Indiana's GOP primary was considered a 'hard Democrat' by his own party". سي إن إن. مؤرشف من الأصل في 2019-04-26. اطلع عليه بتاريخ 2019-02-06. One of the top candidates in Indiana's GOP primary was labeled in the Republican National Committee's voter files as a "hard Democrat" as recently as December. . Braun's voting record shows Braun took a Democratic ballot in some of the highest-profile primary battles the party has had in Indiana in recent decades -- and skipped the most hotly contested GOP statewide races. Braun voted in the Democratic primaries in 1992, 1996, 1998, 2004, 2006 and 2008 -- which were largely solidly Democratic election years. He skipped the primary in 1994, 2000, 2002 and 2010 -- all strong Republican years.
