Sen. Dick Lugar (R-IN) formally introduced his Senate GOP colleagues Tuesday to the man who defeated him in the Republican primary this past May, state Treasurer Richard Mourdock.

The Indianapolis Star reports:

“Sen. Lugar was just very kind and gracious to introduce me to his colleagues,” Mourdock said after leaving the Senate Republicans’ weekly policy lunch. “We’re here talking to the senators today. They’ve been very helpful in giving me support.”

While Senate GOP leaders were behind Lugar in the primary, they embraced Mourdock after his win, helping him raise money and contributing their own funds to his campaign.

Mourdock is in a hotly contested race for the now-open seat against the Democratic nominee, Rep. Joe Donnelly.
