Overview

• Several dozen Indiana GOP lawmakers attended a four-hour session with administration officials where most discussion covered policy topics, with a late segment on redrawing the congressional map.
• Vice President J.D. Vance joined the redistricting discussion, and Trump reportedly met privately in the Oval Office with Speaker Todd Huston and Senate President Rodric Bray.
• Republicans hold seven of Indiana’s nine U.S. House seats, so a remap could at most add two GOP seats, a prospect that some attendees said would be worth pursuing.
• Other Republicans expressed reservations about a mid‑decade redraw, as Trump allies signal possible primary challenges for lawmakers who resist.
• Indiana Democrats protested and warned a new map could fracture Northwest Indiana communities and dilute minority voting power.
