US EditionPete Buttigieg rallies against redistricting in home state of Indiana
- Pete Buttigieg rallied Democrats on Thursday at the Indiana Statehouse against a proposed mid-decade redistricting plan by Indiana Republicans.
- The plan follows mounting pressure from President Trump and Washington Republicans aiming to redraw maps before the 2026 midterms to increase GOP House seats.
- Republicans currently control seven out of Indiana’s nine seats in Congress, and some within the party are pushing for a redistricting plan that would give them all nine, effectively removing Democratic representation from the state’s delegation.
- Buttigieg called the mid-decade redistricting 'cheating' and warned, "cheaters never win in the end," while Governor Mike Braun said the session probably will happen between November and January.
- The effort could diminish voters' influence in Indiana and reflects a broader GOP strategy as Democrats have limited options to block the move amid Republican supermajorities.
