Trump seeks electoral revenge against Indiana lawmakers who defied redistricting push
Washington Examiner ^ | 5/5/26 | Hailey Bullis

President Donald Trump’s revenge tour to unseat Indiana Republicans who snubbed his push to redraw the state’s congressional districts could come to fruition on Tuesday during the state’s primary elections.

The Hoosier State will see 10 state Senate seats on the ballot in Tuesday’s election, with eight state Republicans who voted against gerrymandering the state map seeking reelection.

rump has issued endorsements in seven of the eight races, with only state Sen. Rick Niemeyer escaping the president’s retribution effort, where he has followed through with endorsing incumbents’ primary challengers.

Dubbing them “Republicans in Name Only,” Trump endorsed against state Sens. Dan Dernulc, Linda Rogers, Greg Walker, Greg Goode, Jim Buck, Travis Holdman, and Spencer Deery.

The other two state Republicans who did not support the Trump-backed gerrymandering bill last year, Eric Bassler and Kyle Walker, are not seeking reelection.

Trump warned defectors in the lead-up to the state Senate vote that there would be consequences for those who didn’t support the redrawing of the state map, saying in a Truth Social post that “anybody that votes against Redistricting, and the SUCCESS of the Republican Party in D.C., will be, I am sure, met with a MAGA Primary in the Spring.”

Good. I hope every one of them is thrown out on his azz.

RINOs like this need to be purged.

In a sense, they were right in supporting more neutral election districts; but Republicans shouldn’t put up with being gerrymandering’s sole victims. If it ends, it needs to end EVERYWHERE. By Constitutional amendment or federal statute. Trump should support this.

Yep. I think this appropriate. Although Trump has a lot on his plate right now, I expect in 2028 we will see him making tours to various states to campaign for other candidates.

Doing rallies and such, though I also get these Leftists are dangerous and emotionally incontient people.

I would like to see more of these rallies in 2026, but I get he is occupied and can’t do it as much as he would like. But it would help.

I wish Trump would provide an official MAGA voting guide.

There are many fake or pay-to-play voter guides, and RINOs are often hard to detect.

Neutral toward our enemies is a core RINO policy.
