Overview

• Dozens of Indiana GOP legislators met in Washington, where Vice President JD Vance joined the closing discussion that touched on redrawing the state’s nine congressional districts.
• President Trump privately met with House Speaker Todd Huston and Senate President Rodric Bray, as allies signaled potential primary challenges for state lawmakers who resist a new map.
• State Rep. Jim Lucas said he is now more open to redistricting after the meetings, while Rep. Julie Olthoff said the trip had been scheduled to meet federal officials and was not about maps.
• No redistricting bill has been introduced in Indiana, which would need a special session to act, as Democrats protested in Indianapolis and vowed to counter with their own measures elsewhere.
• Republicans already hold seven of nine Indiana seats, with estimates of one to two possible pickups, a smaller shift than Texas’s new map and California’s proposed response of five seats each.
