Overview
- The Indiana House will gavel in on Dec. 1 to consider redrawing the state's nine U.S. House districts as the 2026 session starts early.
- The Senate plans to reconvene on Dec. 8 to take up any House-passed plan and says it will make a final decision that week.
- Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray previously said the chamber lacked GOP votes for a new map but now agrees to meet, with support still uncertain.
- President Trump is urging approval and threatening to back primary challengers, while Gov. Mike Braun calls for a 9–0 Republican delegation.
- Lawmakers have reported swatting and bomb threats during the debate, and Indiana's move is part of a broader national mid‑cycle redistricting push facing court fights and tight 2026 filing timelines.
