US EditionTrump Allies Ramp up Pressure on Indiana GOP Ahead of Final Redistricting Vote
Trump threatens to strip federal funding and back primary challengers if Indiana Republicans reject a mid-decade redistricting plan aimed at securing GOP House seats.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump pressed Indiana to pass a redistricting plan, warning all federal funding would be stripped if the Indiana Senate fails, and threatened primary challenges.
- Mid‑decade redistricting is extremely rare and the Indiana Senate had earlier rejected the idea but revived it this year; the plan would likely gain only two additional GOP U.S. House seats.
- Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action amplified Trump's funding threat Thursday, sparking condemnation as critics called it unlawful and a watchdog found no proof Trump would back primary challengers.
- Trump singled out Rod Bray, Indiana Senate President Pro Tem, warning Bray and allies would face political retribution soon, while at least one longtime Republican disability advocate refuses to support the proposed maps.
- Analysts note Democrats flipped 21 percent of GOP-held seats this year, and conservative groups including Heritage Foundation, Club for Growth, and TPUSA shifted organizing to the Midwest ahead of the 2026 midterms.
