Overview
- The House approved the Republican-drafted map 57–41, with 12 Republicans joining Democrats in opposition, and sent the bill to the Senate.
- Several GOP senators have publicly opposed a mid-decade redraw, with Senate leaders signaling the votes may be lacking as hearings begin Monday and a final vote is expected Thursday.
- President Donald Trump praised the House vote and urged the Senate to pass the map unchanged, publicly naming nine Republican senators he said need “encouragement.”
- The plan would split Indianapolis into four districts and could strengthen GOP chances statewide, drawing Democratic claims that it would dilute Black voting power and imperil Rep. André Carson’s seat.
- County clerks report unresolved funding and implementation questions, and analysts expect state constitutional and other legal challenges if the map becomes law.
