Overview

  • Trump used a lengthy Truth Social post to attack Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray, calling him "either a bad guy, or a very stupid one."
  • He warned Republicans who oppose the plan that they could face a "MAGA Primary" in the spring and said blocking the map risks the House GOP majority.
  • The Indiana House approved the proposed congressional map on a 57–41 vote to create a 9–0 Republican delegation, but the Senate outcome remains unclear.
  • Trump also faulted prominent Indiana Republicans, including Mitch Daniels and consultant Cam Savage, and claimed Indiana may be the only state to reject the effort.
  • Republican-led states such as Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina have advanced GOP-favoring maps, while California redrew its map in a way described as offsetting GOP gains.
