Former President Donald Trump publicly criticized the Indiana State Senate for rejecting a redistricting plan, calling for the primary defeat of Republican senators who voted against it. He specifically named Senator Rodric Bray as a total loser and vowed to help remove him from office. This rejection marks a significant political setback for Trump, who had been actively campaigning to reshape congressional districts before the upcoming midterm elections. Twenty-one Republican senators were responsible for the holdout, undermining Trumps national strategy. Despite Trumps claims of minimal involvement, reports indicate that the White House had engaged in a full-court press for months. The proposed map would have divided Indianapolis into four sections, potentially diluting Democratic voter influence, but residents in smaller towns near the Kentucky and Ohio borders worried it would give too much power to the states largest metropolitan area at their expense.
