Overview
- Indiana senators are slated to take a final vote Thursday on a congressional remap drawn to deliver a 9–0 GOP delegation, with President Trump pressuring holdouts and threatening primary challenges.
- The proposal would split Indianapolis into four districts and effectively erase Rep. Frank Mrvan’s northwest Indiana seat; the House passed the bill with a dozen Republican defections, and several GOP senators remain publicly undecided.
- Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker warned he would not “stand idly by” if Indiana proceeds, as a broader mid-cycle map fight escalates with new GOP-friendly lines in Texas, Missouri, Ohio and North Carolina and a Democratic counter in California.
- The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee unveiled a 2026 target map covering 42 chambers and a roughly $50 million plan after reporting a 4.5-point average overperformance that it says could put up to 651 state legislative seats in play.
- House Democrats expanded their battleground list to districts including North Carolina’s 3rd and 11th, California’s 48th and Florida’s 15th, citing momentum from a projected flip of Georgia’s HD-121 and a Democratic win in Miami’s mayoral race.
