Indiana’s Republican-led Senate has rejected a Trump-backed congressional map that would likely have given the GOP all nine of the state’s U.S. House seats, despite an aggressive months-long pressure campaign from the White House, even as redistricting battles elsewhere and a looming Supreme Court case shape the national landscape.
After the Indiana Senate voted 31-19 to reject a Trump-backed congressional redistricting plan that would likely have erased the state’s two Democratic U.S. House seats, Republican lawmakers who opposed the measure faced threats of primary challenges from Trump and Gov. Mike Braun, while analysts noted that the defeat underscored limits on mid-decade map changes even in conservative states.

California voters approved Proposition 50 on Nov. 4 with about 64% support, temporarily replacing the state’s independent-drawn U.S. House lines with maps passed by the Legislature. On Nov. 5, Republicans sued in federal court, arguing the plan unlawfully uses race and violates the Constitution.
