Indiana Redistricting: Senate Republicans Side with Democrats to Reject Trump's Voting Map
Republican-led plan aims to add GOP-favorable seats amid intense political pressure and threats against lawmakers, with at least 12 senators opposing the map, sources said.
- On Wednesday, Dec. 10, the Indiana State Senate held a second reading of House Bill 1032 at the Indiana Statehouse, Indianapolis, voting on three amendments that all failed; the full Senate will vote Thursday at 1:30 p.m.
- Republican leaders have pushed for a mid‑decade redraw to gain seats in 2026, with President Donald Trump and allies pressuring after the Indiana House approved the maps earlier this month and the bill passed committee 6-3 on Monday.
- The proposed lines would split Marion County, Indiana into four districts, reshaping Representative André Carson's 7th Congressional District, while passage hinges on the 25-vote threshold with Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith as tiebreaker.
- Outside groups have spent heavily and pledged large primary spending to influence votes, amid threats and intimidation against Indiana senators, including Sen. Jean Leising, and Crider said, `When you get kind of bullied and threatened, if that tactic works, then you can expect to deal with that for the rest of your political career.`
- This fight fits a national pattern of mid‑decade redraws that started in Texas and spread to Missouri and North Carolina, with Democratic-run states considering counter-draws ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
