US EditionIndiana Republicans visit White House amid redistricting push
Indiana Republicans met President Trump amid protests over efforts to redraw congressional districts before the 2026 midterms to gain seats, despite 52% voter opposition, officials said.
- Tuesday, Indiana Republican state lawmakers flew to Washington, D.C., to meet President Donald Trump as the state considers redrawing congressional lines ahead of next year.
- President Donald Trump has pushed Republicans to redraw maps, prompting Texas legislature and Gov. Greg Abbott to approve new maps adding five Republican seats, while California Democrats and Gov. Gavin Newsom passed bills seeking five Democratic seats last week.
- State Democrats rallied at the Indianapolis International Airport Tuesday as robocalls urged support for redistricting and White House intergovernmental affairs director Alex Meyer pressed Hoosier lawmakers earlier this month.
- A mid-decade redraw could trigger lawsuits as Democrats warn they will sue if Indiana redraws districts, and a special session costing Indiana taxpayers between $150,000 and $250,000 may target one of Indiana's nine congressional districts held by seven Republicans.
- Given the razor-thin House majority, the White House pressure campaign targets Republican-led states to redraw maps ahead of next year's midterm elections, as every seat in the 220 U.S. House seats majority matters.
