Overview
- State senators voted 31–19 to block the proposed map despite a 40–10 Republican majority in the chamber, keeping the current districts in place and safeguarding two Democratic U.S. House seats.
- President Donald Trump castigated Senate GOP leader Rodric Bray and vowed to support any primary challenger against him in the spring.
- Indiana Governor Mike Braun denounced the dissenting Republicans, warning of political consequences and saying he will work with the president to contest them.
- With Republicans holding a five-seat edge in the U.S. House, the White House-backed redistricting campaign remains a national priority, including a Texas map expected to yield five additional GOP seats after the Supreme Court cleared its use this month.
- Democrats are countering in states they control, including a California referendum-approved map reported to potentially eliminate five Republican seats.
