Indiana Senate rejects GOP-drawn congressional map, defying Trump
The Indiana Senate rejected a GOP-favored redistricting plan after a 31-19 vote, with 21 Republicans opposing despite threats of primary challenges from Trump allies.
- On Thursday, the Indiana Senate voted 31-19 to reject a congressional map that would have produced two more GOP-friendly seats, blocking a potential sweep of all nine U.S. House seats next year.
- President Donald Trump mounted a months-long push, including Vice President JD Vance's two visits and White House invitations, while allied groups ran ads and rallies to sway Indiana Republicans.
- Facing threats and constituent pushback, some senators argued against the map; Greg Goode said `My job is to best represent District 38 and the Hoosiers who call it home`.
- Indiana's vote revealed limits to President Donald Trump's influence, as not gaining two seats restricts Republican Party gains in the mid-decade redistricting arms race ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
- Gov. Mike Braun warned last week `it's not over if they don't do it`, while Trump's allies escalated threats of primary campaigns and Donald Trump Jr. pledged to campaign against dissenters next year.
