Overview
- The Indiana House passed the redistricting bill 57–41, with 12 Republicans joining Democrats in opposition, sending the measure to the state Senate.
- Senate leaders plan to open session Monday with a committee hearing that afternoon and an expected final vote Thursday, though several Republican senators have publicly opposed a mid‑decade redraw.
- President Trump applauded the House vote and urged passage in the Senate, publicly naming nine GOP senators to pressure and later warning that opponents should be voted out.
- The proposed map is designed to give Republicans a shot at a 9–0 congressional delegation by splitting Indianapolis into four districts and weakening Democratic holds on the 1st and 7th districts, which Democrats and civil‑rights advocates say would dilute Black voting power.
- Conservative activists, including Turning Point Action with Governor Mike Braun and the lieutenant governor, rallied and lobbied senators, while county clerks raised funding and readiness concerns after Democratic proposals to offset costs were ruled out of order.
