Indiana Senate rejects December redistricting push

Indiana Senate Republicans will not return for a December redistricting session sought by President Donald Trump, with Senate leader Rodric Bray saying the caucus lacks votes to reopen the congressional map. The move halts an unusual mid-decade bid to turn Indiana’s 7-2 GOP advantage into nine Republican-leaning districts, despite pressure from Gov. Mike Braun and Trump allies. Democrats cheered the decision, and polls cited by the Indiana Capital Chronicle show voters oppose a redraw by about two to one. Supporters vowed to keep pushing, with Sen. Liz Brown calling the refusal "cowardly."
