Overview

• Indiana legislative leaders Todd Huston and Rodric Bray were set to meet Tuesday at the White House, with discussions expected to center on redistricting and President Donald Trump likely to greet the group.
• Gov. Mike Braun has said he will not call a special session to redraw maps unless there is broad agreement, and several Republican state lawmakers have publicly opposed a mid‑cycle effort.
• A Change Research poll conducted Aug. 18–21 found 52% of Indiana registered voters oppose redistricting now, including 43% who strongly oppose it, with a margin of error of 2.6 percentage points.
• Republicans currently hold seven of Indiana’s nine U.S. House seats, and any redraw would likely target Democratic Rep. Frank Mrvan’s northwest district, with some Republican strategists also eyeing Rep. Andre Carson’s Indianapolis seat.
• California set a Nov. 4 special election for voters to decide a new congressional map as GOP lawmakers sue to block the ballot measure, while in Texas a GOP‑favored map has cleared the legislature and is expected to be signed, with legal challenges anticipated.
