The Indiana Senate on Thursday voted down a plan to redraw the state’s congressional districts to produce two more GOP-friendly seats, rejecting President Donald Trump’s months-long campaign to pressure the Republican supermajority in the deep-red state to bend to his will.
The 31-19 vote saw 21 Republicans join 10 Democrats in voting down the proposed map that would have positioned the GOP, which currently holds seven of Indiana’s nine US House seats, for a sweep of all nine seats in next year’s midterm elections.
The vote comes with significant ramifications for the 2026 midterm elections as some Democratic- and Republican-led states aim to redraw their US House maps beforehand. Not gaining two seats limits the gains Republicans are seeking to make in the redistricting arms race that Trump launched.
Indiana’s rejection also revealed the limits of Trump’s political might. The Trump administration dispatched Vice President JD Vance to Indiana for two visits and invited state lawmakers to the White House as part of their lobbying effort. Trump, Vance, and Republican allies threatened to run primary challengers against senators who didn’t approve a new map.
Instead, a majority of Indiana’s Senate Republican caucus voted no.

Damn RINO’s. SPIT....
That’s really sick. Democrats would never join with Republicans to block a Democrat redistricting plan.
Not surprising since Republicans want to lose so Dems can go back to destroying the country and they pretend to care
wow.
Does Pence still have allies in Indiana?
Indiana Senate Majority Leader Chris Garten just gave a fiery speech in favor of the 9-0 map:
"Some will say these maps are political. Let me be clear: You're **** RIGHT they are... Safe streets are political. Affordable electricity is political. A drug free Indiana is political. Peace in the Middle East is political... We're not here to be neutral arbiters of decline. We're hear to be agents of American greatness."pic.twitter.com/IiKUWX6oBk— Greg Price (@greg_price11) December 11, 2025
How many of the 21 are voting that way to just protect 2 or 3? I think I would vote D for all 21.
I’m proud of them taking the higher road! /spit
Vote every last one of them out. The voters need to end these RINO’s political careers. Get someone in there that will do the right thing. These squishes don’t deserve any more support from the people of Indiana.
The only thing more despicable than a DemocRAT is a RINO.
And boy, we’re talkin’ uper tres despicable.
...and the GOP wonder why people aren’t coming out to vote.
Such an embarrassment.
Retroactively because they knew the Republicans in the Indiana State Senate were going to vote this way? They didn't turn out in the areas where the Republicans actually behave like Republicans because of what these Indiana Republicans were going weeks, months later?
“But senators refusing to vote for the map argued their constituents didn’t want redistricting”
Are there a lot of suicidal Republicans in Indiana?
Insane. They didn’t defeat Trump, they defeated themselves.
Cutting their own throats
If they meet again, I hope Ohio State destroys Indiana.
RINO Pence behind this. I will stay home before I vote for
any of these people.
