2026 elections: Will Democrats flip Indiana House district 72?

 
The district was within the 15-percentage-point margin of Democratic Party over-performance in 2025 special elections.  Look at what just happened in Texas.

Tom Davies reports for the Indiana Capital Chronicle:
Republican Rep. Ed Clere has decided to leave the Indiana General Assembly after 18 years — and says the political changes brought by President Donald Trump have pushed him out of the party[emphasis added]
Clere cited the conflict over the failed congressional redistricting demanded by Trump among his reasons for not seeking reelection to his House seat this year. He further plans to run as an independent candidate for New Albany mayor in 2027.

District 72 is located across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky.
