Indiana Gov. Mike Braun calls special session to consider new congressional map

Indiana Gov. Mike Braun called a special session starting Nov. 3 to consider redrawing the state's congressional map, citing a need to protect Hoosiers' representation, even as Republicans concede 'the votes still aren't there'. The White House has pressed lawmakers - Donald Trump phoned Republicans and Vice President J.D. Vance visited twice - but the party is split, with Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith urging a map that could deliver all nine seats and others resisting. Republicans now hold seven of nine districts. The fight unfolds amid aggressive mid-decade redistricting, with Virginia and Louisiana taking action Monday.
