Braun Seeks Special Session on Redistricting Amid Uncertainty

Indiana Gov. Mike Braun on Monday urged lawmakers to return Nov. 3 for a special session to redraw congressional maps, sharpening a midcycle fight fueled by President Donald Trump. Despite months of White House meetings and repeat visits by Vance, a spokesperson for Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray said Republicans lack the votes, clouding the effort. Backers hope to expand the GOP’s 7-2 edge—likely by targeting the Democratic 1st District—while critics warn the push is costly, politically risky and likely to trigger court challenges.
