Buttigieg Leads Statehouse Rally as Indiana GOP Weighs Mid‑Decade Redistricting

Gov. Mike Braun has signaled a likely redistricting session as early as November.

Overview

  • Hundreds gathered at the Indiana Statehouse as Pete Buttigieg urged Republicans to resist what he called Washington-driven pressure to change the maps.
  • Braun said a redistricting vote probably will happen and could come as soon as November, though no proposal has been introduced.
  • Republicans hold supermajorities in both chambers, leaving Democrats without procedural tools to block a session or slow a vote.
  • Reporting ties the push to President Donald Trump and White House outreach, with some GOP legislators reversing earlier opposition after meetings in Washington.
  • Democrats warn likely targets include the 1st and 7th districts and say splitting Indianapolis could dilute Black voting power, even as similar map fights escalate in Texas, Missouri and California.
