Indiana Republicans soundly defeat Trump's redistricting push

In a resounding rejection of a pressure campaign from the White House, Indiana Republican Senators voted down a new congressional map created to give the GOP an advantage in the upcoming 2026 election. Twenty-one Senators from the Republican supermajority and the chamber’s 10 Democrats voted against the map Thursday, which would have split the city of Indianapolis into four districts. While other Republican states have moved quickly to redistrict, Indiana lawmakers have been far more hesitant. The GOP senators who voted against the map are likely to face primary challengers backed by Republicans on the side of President Donald Trump, who wants to give his party an easier path to keeping the U.S. House.
