Souder won the primary with 48% of the vote. He was to face Democrat Fort Wayne councilman Tom Hayhurst. However, as Souder announced his resignation both from Congress and from his Republican candidacy on May 18, 2010, Governor Mitch Daniels set a date for a special election to be held concurrently with the general election in November. A caucus was to be held to choose the Republican candidate for the special election and the general election. The Republican caucus to choose the nominee was held on June 12, 2010.
