Overview

• All members of Indiana’s Republican congressional delegation publicly backed the White House’s mid-decade redistricting push on Monday.
• Gov. Mike Braun said he will not call a special session to redraw maps unless there is general agreement, and legislative leaders have not announced positions. Indiana Democrats are united in opposition.
• Rank-and-file Republicans in the General Assembly have criticized the idea, with state Rep. Jim Lucas declaring he is a "hard ... NO" on redistricting.
• Indiana Republican legislators are scheduled to visit the White House next week, and Braun said political pressure will be cranked up as proponents try to get it done.
• The campaign follows Vice President JD Vance’s lobbying trip to Indiana and is part of a Trump-backed national effort to protect the House GOP’s narrow majority ahead of 2026. The state holds a 7–2 Republican edge in its U.S. House seats and relies on the legislature to draw maps.
