The nearly two dozen Indiana Republicans who voted against the president’s redistricting plan Thursday are in political jeopardy as Trump allies rally together to take them out.
Republicans’ bid to redraw district lines ahead of the 2026 midterms failed after 21 state senators broke with their party and voted with the Democrats to strike the effort down 19-31. Trump claimed on Thursday that he “wasn’t working on it very hard” on the plan, though some have reported the president was making last minute calls to whip votes in favor of the new map.
Major GOP organizations like Turning Point USA Action, Heritage Action, Club for Growth and strategists close to the president tell the Daily Caller that they are actively starting efforts to primary every single Indiana Republican who opposed the redistricting plan.
“I don’t think the voters will forgive them. We will court candidates relatively quickly. We’ve already been in the recruitment process,” Alex Bruesewitz, an adviser to the president and CEO of X Strategies, told the Caller.
“The last couple of weeks, a lot of great people were stepping forward saying that we want to run against XYZ. I think we’re going to be able to mount primary challenges against these people pretty quickly,” he added.

It’s not called the Stupid Party for nothing.
great. primary them all.
We can always count on stupid Repugnants to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.
They were probably bribed. If not that, then blackmailed.
You have to give the Republican Party a lot of credit—they absolutely excel at demoralizing their base!
Agreed. They might be that stupid otherwise, but I think its more likely either of those two causes. How far we have fallen as a nation has become indescribable.
In areas where Democrats can’t win elections, they run as Republicans. So these RINOs are probably closet Democrats. Primarying them out would be a good development.
Good point.
Kevin McCarthy was a great example of that.
Same state party that produced Mike Pence.
Also, Richard Lugar, who Obama called his favorite Republican!
America is history—and probably the history will be purged. I believe Repubs want socialism communism to take America.
You forgot the /s
Stupid and venal.
This happened in Indiana. I didn’t see that mentioned above. Of course, I could have missed it.
Or they were victims of astroturfing by activists posing as constituents, convincing them that the rank and file didn’t want partisan redistricting.
There are a lot of ignorant politicians who STILL don’t understand how the enemy weaponizes the internet.
Trump ain’t much of a dictator if he can’t get State Senators to toe the line. //sarcasm
Thank POS Pence and the RINO GOP.
RINOs still believe people will want to vote for them if they destroy MAGA.
Elect fake republicans and this is what you get. All of them are dimorats.
They need to go. ALL of them.
