US EditionIndiana Senate Won't Vote on Redistricting, Defying Trump's Push
- On Friday, Indiana Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray announced the chamber lacked votes and the Indiana State Senate will not reconvene in December to vote on redistricting.
- Vice President JD Vance and President Donald Trump pressed Indiana Republicans with visits and meetings, while Mike Braun, Indiana governor, called a special session beginning Nov. 3 to consider redistricting.
- The state's current delegation favors the GOP 7-2, and the redistricting push targeted the First District in northwest Indiana and the Seventh District in Indianapolis.

- With Indiana off the table, GOP-led mapmaking in four states has redrawn seats to add nine Republican-leaning districts, while this month California voters passed Proposition 50, and the Justice Department sued to block that map.
