Indiana Senate Rejects Trump-Backed Redistricting Plan in 31–19 Vote

The defeat undercuts the president’s push to add two Republican-leaning U.S. House seats in a state he won by a wide margin.

Overview

  • The plan failed with a 31–19 vote as a majority of Republican senators opposed the proposed congressional map changes.
  • Kaitlan Collins opened her CNN program by saying the president’s pressure campaign had failed after the Indiana vote.
  • President Trump downplayed his involvement from the Oval Office and criticized Senate leader Rodric Bray, who is not up for reelection until 2028.
  • The rejected map was framed as potentially helping Republicans retain their U.S. House majority by creating two GOP-friendly districts.
  • On-air debate over the fallout featured a disputed claim by GOP analyst Scott Jennings that Collins challenged regarding instructions to the military.
