Indiana lawmakers have rejected President Trump’s proposed map to add more Republicans in Congress. Despite Trump’s lobbying efforts, 19 Republican senators voted against the plan, citing concerns over its impact on election integrity and fairness. The rejection comes as the redistricting debate continues to spark divisions within Trump’s own party. The Senate’s Republican caucus narrowly approved the bill, but a slim majority ultimately rejected it.
The outcome is seen as a defeat for Trump, who had spent significant political capital pushing for the new map. He has vowed to challenge those senators who opposed him, including Governor Mike Braun. The rejection highlights the limits of Trump’s power over his party and underscores the growing rifts within his camp.
