Overview
- Indiana House Speaker Todd Huston and Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray met privately with President Trump in the Oval Office to discuss a potential off‑cycle redraw, their offices confirmed through statements and reporting.
- Dozens of GOP legislators also met with White House officials at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, with Vice President JD Vance joining part of the session where redistricting was discussed.
- Some Republicans softened earlier resistance after the meetings, including state Rep. Jim Lucas and state Sen. Liz Brown, though leaders offered no decision on pursuing a special session.
- Republicans hold supermajorities in both chambers and could pass new maps without Democrats, while Gov. Mike Braun said he will not call a special session without broad agreement.
- Democrats condemned the push and warned of legal challenges, noting likely targets include the 1st District in Northwest Indiana and Indianapolis‑based 7th District, as Texas and California advance opposing partisan remaps.
