Indiana Senate Defies Trump on Redistricting as Pressure Campaign Intensifies

The standoff reflects a broader GOP drive to redraw maps to protect a slim House majority.

Overview

  • Indiana’s Republican-led Senate voted 29–19 to reconvene in January rather than return in December, with leaders saying there are not enough votes to pass new congressional maps.
  • President Trump publicly threatened primary challenges for a third straight day, naming Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray and others, and has invited some holdouts to White House meetings, according to multiple reports.
  • Gov. Mike Braun said he spoke with Trump, reaffirmed support for what he calls fair maps, and signaled he is exploring options to compel a vote while backing potential primary challengers.
  • State Sen. Greg Goode, who was singled out by Trump, was the target of a confirmed swatting incident on Sunday, with the Vigo County Sheriff’s Office reporting no injuries after responding to a false emergency call.
  • Florida Republicans scheduled a Dec. 4 meeting to begin a redistricting timeline as a three-judge federal panel blocked Texas from using its newly drawn map, underscoring the multi-state and legal dimensions of the fight.
