Sen. Todd Young of Indiana is a bit of a contradiction—he’s a genteel old-school Republican in a MAGA-fied party, an Iran war skeptic who has repeatedly voted against attempts to rein in Trump’s “little excursion,” and a critic of congressional abdication who also opposes tying the president’s hands in the middle of a conflict. In a political arena populated by loudmouths, Young tends to abide by the adage that you shouldn’t say anything if you have nothing to say—which is largely why he stayed out of the Indiana redistricting fight the president led and lost in his state, and why he’s often guarded when speaking to the press.
