President Barack Obama will be in Indianapolis the night of May 17, following an appearance earlier that day in South Bend for the Notre Dame commencement.
Obama will attend a fundraiser for Indiana Democratic Reps. Joe Donnelly, Andre Carson, Baron Hill and Brad Ellsworth, according to a person with knowledge of the visit who spoke on condition of anonymity Friday night because the White House had not yet made an official announcement.
Obama’s appearance at Notre Dame has been criticized by some Catholics because of his support for abortion rights and embryonic stem-cell research.
