Trump ‘Disappointed’ Indiana Lawmakers Dropped Redistricting Effort

Trump called Indiana Senate Republicans 'RINO' and threatened primary challenges after they blocked a GOP-favored redistricting plan that could add two congressional seats, risking House control.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump lashed out at Indiana State Senate Republicans after Rodric Bray announced the chamber will not reconvene, warning the failure could cost Republicans two House seats and calling Bray and Greg Goode `RINO Senators`.
