Indiana GOP Pushes for Midterm Seat Gain
Update: 2025-12-05
Description
Indianas House of Representatives, led by Republicans, passed a new congressional redistricting map, potentially adding two more Republican seats in the 2026 midterm elections. This move aligns with former President Donald Trumps call for Republican-led states to expand their majority in the House. The fate of this map in the Indiana Senate remains uncertain, as Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray previously stated there arent enough votes to approve it. However, under pressure from Trump and Governor Mike Braun, senators will return to make a final decision. The new map could potentially give Republicans all nine of Indianas congressional seats by redrawing districts currently held by Democrats. This development is part of a broader national trend, with other states like Texas, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, and Utah also approving new congressional maps following similar calls for mid-decade redistricting.
