The Republican leader of Indiana’s state Senate said on Friday there are not enough votes to move forward on redrawing the state’s congressional map. “Over the last several months, Senate Republicans have given very serious and thoughtful consideration to the concept of redrawing our state’s congressional maps. Today, I’m announcing there are not enough votes to move that idea forward, and the Senate will not reconvene in December,” Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray stated, according to WTHR. According to POLITICO, President Trump’s team began summoning Indiana lawmakers to meet with Trump in the Oval Office as early as next week. BREAKING: In an infuriating development, INDIANA just REFUSED to redraw its 2026 Congressional map, when they could've added +2 Republican seats SEN. RODRIC BRAY: "There are not enough votes to move that idea forward, and the Senate will not reconvene."

It marks the fourth state where efforts have stalled despite pressure from Trump and his political team. Bray’s announcement on Friday immediately incensed those in Trump’s orbit. “Our party can no longer afford to harbor these gutless, self-serving traitors who stab us in the back while accomplishing absolutely nothing,” Trump ally Alex Bruesewitz said on X. “The entire MAGA movement will be mobilizing to Indiana to PRIMARY and OUST every last RINO blocking these essential reforms to RESCUE our nation, this will include the totally clueless and weak State Senate President.” Vice President JD Vance traveled to Indiana several times and expended political capital on the Hoosier state effort, flying twice on Air Force Two here to court lawmakers, and he had welcomed Indiana lawmakers to the White House. Trump himself entertained Bray and state House Speaker Todd Huston in the Oval Office to discuss the matter in August. “I was just in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on Monday, rallying HUNDREDS of fired-up patriots who are unanimously demanding redistricting reform. Every genuine Republican across the state stands firmly behind it, yet these treacherous RINOs stonewall and sabotage at every turn,” Bruesewitz said. A MONUMENTAL BETRAYAL IS UNFOLDING IN INDIANA RIGHT NOW. Spineless RINO "legislators” have sabotaged and buried Republicans' vital redistricting push. And they are letting Gavin Newsom & left-wing Democrats get closer to stealing the house. The weak as hell State Senate… https://t.co/jJ7mRaNXrq — Alex Bruesewitz (@alexbruesewitz) November 14, 2025 WTHR shared additional statements: Gov. Mike Braun (R-Indiana) had called a special session to vote on redistricting. Lawmakers had decided to meet in the first two weeks of December, part of the 2026 regular session. Within minutes of Bray’s announcement, the governor issued a statement saying: “I called for our legislators to convene to ensure Hoosiers’ voices in Washington, DC are not diluted by the democrats’ gerrymandering. Our state senators need to do the right thing and show up to vote for fair maps. Hoosiers deserve to know where their elected officials stand on important issues.” With the news that the Senate will not convene, it is likely the House will follow suit. Rep. André Carson (D-District 7), who represents much of Indianapolis in the U.S. Congress, issued the following statement: “Prayer, people, and partnerships power change. Hoosiers do things differently. We’re about collaboration, not division. We’re about independent thinking — not taking orders from Washington. I want to thank Senator Bray and all the Republican and Democratic members of the Indiana Statehouse who held firm on Hoosier values. This is a win for all of us.” Rep. Frank Mrvan (D-District 1), who represents the northwest corner of Indiana, also released a statement Friday afternoon: “Today’s announcement should not come as a surprise to any Hoosier. As a lifelong resident of Northwest Indiana, and as someone whose father proudly served in the Indiana State Senate, we can all appreciate the thoughtful and deliberate work that went into the 2022 redistricting process. “As we move forward, I remain committed to ensuring that every community in our region and state can grow and prosper. At a time when rising costs are harming families, workers, and farmers, we must stand together and focus on solutions that lower expenses and strengthen our economy. The only way to deliver lasting progress for Northwest Indiana is through genuine collaboration at every level of government. I look forward to continuing this essential work with all of our federal, state, and local partners to build a stronger, more affordable future for every resident of Indiana.”
