- Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray said there are not enough votes to proceed, so the chamber will not reconvene in December to consider new congressional maps.
- Governor Mike Braun, who had called for a special session on redistricting, urged senators to show up and vote for what he termed fair maps.
- Democratic Senate Minority Leader Shelli Yoder welcomed the collapse of the plan and called for a focus on cost-of-living and other day-to-day concerns for Hoosiers.
- Reporting noted lawmakers had until December 13 to act under the governor’s special-session call, but the Senate’s decision halts any vote this year.
