Standing up to pressure from the Trump administration to approve new mid-cycle congressional maps, several Republicans in the Indiana state Senate voted on Tuesday to adjourn until 2026, instead of convening in December for a special session on redistricting as previously expected.
“I won Indiana in a landslide, the most votes ever gotten in the State – Such an HONOR! A RINO State Senator, Rodric Bray, who doesn’t care about keeping the Majority in the House in D.C., is the primary problem. Soon, he will have a Primary Problem, as will any other politician who supports him in this stupidity,” Trump posted on Tuesday.
Despite early Republican gerrymandering wins in North Carolina and Missouri, Trump’s larger campaign is falling apart.
Also on Tuesday, a federal court enjoined the use of Texas’ new congressional map, calling the map racially gerrymandered and therefore unconstitutional. Additionally, earlier this month, a Utah judge rejected a new Republican-favoring map. And in Kansas, Republicans did not have sufficient votes to approve a new map.
In recent days, Trump has also threatened Indiana’s state Senators who have refused to get in line. Most recently, he took to Truth Social to again single out Bray.

“Unfortunately, Sen. Rod Bray was forced to partner with DEMOCRATS to block an effort by the growing number of America First Senators who wanted to have a vote on passing fair maps. Now I am left with no choice other than to explore all options at my disposal to compel the State Senate to show up and vote,” Braun wrote in a post on X on Tuesday.

In response, Braun, following in Trump’s footsteps, explicitly threatened state Senators who have not succumbed to the administration’s pressure to approve new maps. It’s worth noting that Braun’s threats come only days after Trump called Braun out directly and blamed him for the lack of support for redistricting in the state legislature.

Tuesday night, nineteen Republican senators and all 10 Democratic senators voted against convening for a special session next month.

The vote in Indiana comes just days after Indiana Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray announced that Indiana lawmakers would not convene for a special session on redistricting in December, despite mounting pressure from Trump and Indiana’s GOP Gov. Mike Braun to do so. In his announcement late last week, Bray said there were not enough votes in his conference to approve new maps that would flip the state’s only two U.S. House seats held by Democrats for Republicans.
