Bayh believes he is the man who can help Republicans and Democrats work together.
He pointed to his long track record of being governor and U.S. Senator as why people prefer him to Baron Hill, who dropped out of the race last week.
Bayh said if he wins, he will work to create jobs, cut taxes, grow small businesses, and make college more affordable. He also stopped in South Bend, Gary, and Terre Haute.
