US EditionRedistricting in Indiana faces ultimate test in state Senate
The proposed map would divide Indianapolis into four districts and eliminate two Democratic seats amid GOP efforts to secure all nine Congressional districts, with Republicans currently holding seven.
- On Monday, Indiana state senators will convene in Indianapolis to weigh a proposal to redraw congressional boundaries, meeting on the floor at 12:30 p.m. and the Senate elections committee at 1:30 p.m.
- The White House has boosted pressure by increasing national GOP efforts, with Vice President JD Vance visiting Indianapolis twice since August and Indiana legislative leaders meeting President Donald Trump earlier this year.
- The new congressional map, introduced last Monday and passed by the Republican supermajority in the state House on Friday, splits Indianapolis into four districts and groups East Chicago and Gary with rural northern counties, eliminating Rep. André Carson's and Rep. Frank Mrvan's districts.
- In the 50-person state Senate chamber, proponents need at least 25 yes votes for passage, or a tie would require the Republican lieutenant governor's tiebreaking vote, while filing deadlines in early February and primary elections in early May create urgency.
- Redistricting is typically done once a decade, but President Donald Trump's push has prompted Republican-led states like Texas and Missouri to redraw maps, while Republicans hold seven of nine Indiana districts and Democrats aim to flip control in 2026.
