The Republican leader of the Indiana Senate said the chamber would not meet to redraw the state's congressional map, rejecting pressure from President Donald Trump and the state's governor.
“Today I’m announcing there are not enough votes to move that idea forward, and the Senate will not reconvene in December,” Indiana Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray said in a statement.
The White House has repeatedly pushed Indiana, where Republicans control seven of nine congressional seats, to join the national mid-decade redistricting push to shore up the party's narrow House majority in next year's midterm elections. Vice President JD Vance visited the state twice to press lawmakers, while Trump called legislators recently.
Indiana Republican Gov. Mike Braun called a special legislative session last month to try to force the issue. State lawmakers had initially said that to save money, they wouldn’t meet until a regularly scheduled session in December, before pulling the plug on it Friday afternoon.
"I called for our legislators to convene to ensure Hoosiers’ voices in Washington, DC are not diluted by the democrats’ gerrymandering," Braun said in a post on X. "Our state senators need to do the right thing and show up to vote for fair maps."
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Make them vote. Get them on record. We can’t fight the democrats until we get them out of the Republican Party.
Because they are GOPee votes...
[Pence approves]
Gutless losers.
Perhaps the solid citizens of Indiana should pay a call on their respective senate representatives and light a fire under them? Or are most spineless, sackless, compromised politicians?
Let’s have the vote and get them on record.
I’d like to see those who want to give Democrats every advantage be officially on the record as doing so - Dems can gerrymander in Dem states, but Republicans can’t in Republican states.
State GOP are a bunch of RINOs.
The republican party wants to keep the communist democrat party in business. They love their two-party(uniparty) system even if it means the destruction of America. The Democrats communists need to be destroyed once and for all but republicans are their greatest protectors.
On Steve Bannon’s War Room, they talked about this and mentioned that Pence was in cahoots with the RINOs.
See my tag line....
Pence pulls his strings. Disgusting.
Quick! Everybody attack Thomas Massie!
Because the GOP Establishment army is always there for us whenever we need an army, right?
And sometimes it rains in Madagascar, but what does that have to do with this thread?
Establishment Republicans couldn’t give a hoot about winning or losing. They only care about remaining in power and making money.
I thought Pence was just a deep state coward but l was wrong. He is a snake and a back stabbing traitor.
If we lose the House by even one, I am sure Speaker of the House Jeffries will be eternally grateful to Indiana!
Gutless losers the the nth degree!!!
