US EditionIndiana Senate Won't Vote on Redistricting, Defying Trump's Push
Indiana Senate Republicans canceled the December vote on redistricting due to insufficient support amid pressure from Trump and GOP leaders aiming to redraw nine House districts.
- On Friday, Indiana Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray announced the chamber lacked votes and the Indiana State Senate will not reconvene in December to vote on redistricting.
- Vice President JD Vance and President Donald Trump pressed Indiana Republicans with visits and meetings, while Mike Braun, Indiana governor, called a special session beginning Nov. 3 to consider redistricting.
- The state's current delegation favors the GOP 7-2, and the redistricting push targeted the First District in northwest Indiana and the Seventh District in Indianapolis.
- By canceling the December session, the announcement sharply reduces the likelihood Indiana lawmakers can enact a new map before the early‑February candidate filing deadline and blocks the White House's effort to add GOP seats.
- With Indiana off the table, GOP-led mapmaking in four states has redrawn seats to add nine Republican-leaning districts, while this month California voters passed Proposition 50, and the Justice Department sued to block that map.
