Overview
- Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray announced there are not enough Republican votes to reopen Indiana’s congressional map, and the chamber will not meet in December.
- President Donald Trump publicly rebuked Indiana Republicans, labeling Rodric Bray and Greg Goode as RINOs and urging primary challenges against those opposing a redraw.
- Governor Mike Braun, after speaking with Trump, posted that he remains committed to passing what he called fair maps and pressed senators to take a public vote.
- The White House pressed for action for months, with Vice President J.D. Vance making two trips to Indianapolis, while Goode’s office said he would not take a position without an introduced map and bill.
- Indiana’s current map favors Republicans 7–2 as national mid-decade battles intensify, with GOP-driven changes in Texas, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio and Democratic moves in California, all under tight legal and calendar constraints.
