Indiana Governor Calls Special Session to Boost Republicans in Congress

Indiana Gov. Mike Braun called a special legislative session for next week to redraw congressional maps in a way that would benefit Republicans, aligning with efforts the Trump administration backs to keep control of the U.S. House in next year's midterms. He framed the move as protecting Hoosiers' voice and ensuring fair representation. But Republican support wavered in the State Senate, where leaders said the votes aren't there and some members had no advance notice. Democrats condemned the plan, calling it "not democracy" and "desperation."
