Voters in Indiana’s May 5, 2026, Republican primaries ousted a majority of state Senate incumbents who had opposed President Donald Trump’s push for a rare mid-decade congressional redistricting plan, according to early results reported by The Associated Press. Trump had endorsed challengers in most of those races after the plan failed in the legislature late last year.
