Trump blasts Indiana state lawmakers for not pursuing redistricting efforts

President Donald Trump slammed GOP state lawmakers in Indiana on Sunday for not pursuing redistricting efforts and pushed for Republicans who oppose redistricting to lose their seats.

In a post to Truth Social, the president said he was “very disappointed in Indiana State Senate Republicans,” specifically calling out Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray and state Sen. Greg Goode.

“Because of these two politically correct type ‘gentlemen,’ and a few others, they could be depriving Republicans of a Majority in the House, A VERY BIG DEAL!” Trump said in the post.

Indiana is one of the latest states to grapple with redistricting after Texas’ push launched a tit-for-tat mid-decade redistricting battle in state legislatures across the country. Lawmakers from both parties have sought to redraw congressional lines to favor their party’s candidates ahead of next year’s midterm elections. Earlier this month in California, voters approved a redistricting measure that was championed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, who pushed it as a response to Texas’ new map.
