US EditionIndiana House passes GOP-friendly congressional map
The new map aims to secure two more Republican seats by splitting Democratic strongholds, with the House passing it 57-41 amid opposition and upcoming Senate review.
- On Thursday, Indiana House Republicans almost unanimously defeated 21 Democratic amendments, advancing a Republican-authored redistricting bill unchanged to the House floor.
- Amid heavy public pressure this month, House Republicans released proposed maps Monday morning that would disassemble two Democratic-held districts and produce a 9-0 Republican map for 2026.
- The proposed lines would splinter Indianapolis across four congressional districts, and Democrats offered amendments for hearings, map-drawer disclosure, and cost tallying, noting just 43 Hoosiers attended the Tuesday meeting.
- The House is scheduled to vote Friday at 10 a.m. on whether to send the redistricting bill to the Senate, with a noon rotunda rally planned, but political insiders say the Senate lacks votes and several state senators oppose it.
- Amid calls to let voters decide, Democrats pushed to put redistricting on a statewide ballot and one amendment would have sent the map to voters, while Rep. Ben Smaltz said House Bill 1032 follows rules amid heavy pressure this month.
