Overview

• At the Indiana Statehouse, Pete Buttigieg denounced a mid‑decade redraw as “cheating” and pledged to help Democrats fight it, blaming President Donald Trump for pressuring state Republicans.
• Gov. Mike Braun said a redistricting session “probably will happen,” with November discussed as a possible window for lawmakers to act.
• Republicans hold supermajorities in both legislative chambers, meaning Democrats cannot block a session through quorum tactics or other procedural delays.
• Advocates say a GOP plan would likely target the Gary‑area 1st District and Indianapolis‑based 7th District, prompting warnings about diluting Black voting power.
• Texas has enacted a map to add GOP‑leaning seats, Missouri’s Legislature passed a plan for another pickup, and California Democrats advanced a referendum to redraw their map as Indiana Republicans like Jim Banks and Jim Lucas voice stronger support for new lines.
