A very hard one for me.

I love Evan Bayh. A true leader and centrist who believes in his country. He was one of the few brave democrats who tried to defeat the Iran Deal (worked with Joe Lieberman, Mark Begich and Mary Landrieu to lobby their former senate colleagues) and has a stellar record on foreign policy as a whole.

However, I also like Todd Young a lot. He's a great conservative who represents my wing of the party pretty well. He also defeated Stutzman in the primary, which is a massive plus. He's the type of guy who'd make a fantastic, long-term Senator.

It really would come down to one thing: Senate Majority. I have to vote Todd Young here. If the majority was safely GOP, I'd likely support Bayh, but that is not the world we live in.

It also helps the GOP that Young is pro-life while Bayh is not.
