Indiana Gov. Mike Braun called a Nov. 3 special session to consider new congressional maps, but GOP leaders say the Senate still lacks votes, despite meetings with Vice President JD Vance and Donald Trump. Republicans, who hold a supermajority and a 7–2 edge in the delegation, could target districts near Chicago and Indianapolis, though legal challenges are expected. Elsewhere, Democrats advance redistricting efforts in Virginia, California and Illinois, while Kansas Republicans seek a special session. With Democrats three seats from U.S. House control, both parties are pressing for map changes.
