Indiana House GOP Unveils Map Aimed at 9–0 Delegation as Senate Sets Dec. 8 Decision

A Dec. 8 Senate vote will test party unity with police investigating threats.

Overview

  • House Republicans released a draft that redraws all nine districts, splitting Indianapolis into four and moving District 7 out of the city toward eastern and southeastern counties.
  • The plan targets Democratic Reps. André Carson and Frank Mrvan by diluting voter bases in Marion and Lake counties, with proponents saying the map gives the GOP an edge in every seat.
  • The House convened, read the bill, and scheduled a Tuesday elections committee hearing after Democrats’ quorum gambit failed under GOP supermajority rules.
  • Senate leaders agreed to reconvene Dec. 8 after earlier resistance, with votes still uncertain as Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Speaker Mike Johnson press Republicans and threaten primary challenges.
  • Security concerns escalated as at least nine GOP lawmakers reported swatting incidents and Sen. Jean Leising said she received a pipe bomb threat, which Indiana State Police are investigating.
