Columbus, Ind. A majority of Republican state senators endorsed by President Donald Trump were defeated by Trump-backed challengers in Indiana’s state Senate primaries Tuesday, following May 5 vote counts; the contests focused on incumbents who opposed a December redistricting plan that 21 GOP senators had rejected. Indianapolis officials and party leaders said the primary outcomes could realign the state Senate’s Republican caucus and influence legislative priorities ahead of the November midterm elections; Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith framed the races as a test of whether Republicans will 'fight' for an edge, and outlets reported allied outside spending totaled millions.
