Indiana state senator targeted by pipe bomb threat amid redistricting battle
Senator Jean Leising and at least seven other Indiana lawmakers opposing redistricting have faced threats, including swatting and a pipe bomb threat, prompting multiple investigations.
- Republican Indiana state Sen. Jean Leising said her house was targeted Saturday evening by a pipe bomb threat, and she thanked law enforcement. The incident she blamed on 'D.C. political pundits' for redistricting.
- The White House has pushed Indiana Republicans to align with its redistricting agenda, but Leising has opposed the effort since Nov. 12, saying only 7% of her constituents support it.
- With a 40-10 Republican majority in the Indiana Senate, Republicans will likely need at least 25 Republican votes to pass new maps amid midcycle redistricting this year.
