Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb has won a second four-year term, defeating Democfat Dr. Woody Myers and Libertarian Donald Rainwater.

Holcomb easily won his race, despite an outcry of criticism regarding his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

Holcomb’s conservative base has been outspoken regarding the statewide mask mandate he ordered in late summer.

Some conservatives called Holcomb’s actions excessive and were, instead, backing Libertarian candidate Donald Rainwater.

Holcomb was lieutenant governor under then-Gov. Mike Pence and replaced Pence as the Republican governor candidate in 2016 after Pence became Trump’s vice presidential running mate.
