Braun reiterates support for Indiana redistricting after call with Trump

Gov. Mike Braun pressed Indiana lawmakers to vote on redistricting to counter gerrymandering amid political tensions and a swatting incident targeting a state senator.

  • After speaking with President Donald Trump on Nov. 17, Gov. Mike Braun reaffirmed his commitment to redistricting and urged Indiana state legislators to pass fair maps.
  • After President Donald Trump's weekend posts criticizing Braun, the White House pushed to redraw nine congressional districts to favor Republicans ahead of 2026.
  • Shortly after the weekend posts, State Sen. Greg Goode and his family were victims of a swatting incident at their Vigo County home, prompting Indiana State Police to pursue justice.
  • On Nov. 14, Indiana State Senate leadership announced they lacked votes to hold an early-December session, effectively ending efforts to redraw nine congressional districts where Republicans hold seven and Democrats two.
  • With Organization Day on Tuesday, Elizabeth Bennion said, `It is true that maps could be on the agenda for next January when the legislature actually reconvenes, as it normally would during a normal year.` December 13 remains the last opportunity for changes, which experts say won't affect 2026 elections.
