Indiana’s GOP Senate leader, Rodric Bray, said Friday in a statement that “there are not enough votes” to keep talks alive on redrawing the state’s congressional maps, closing the door on a push heavily encouraged by President Donald Trump.
“Over the last several months, Senate Republicans have given very serious and thoughtful consideration to the concept of redrawing our state’s congressional maps,” Bray said in the statement. “I’m announcing there are not enough votes to move that idea forward, and the Senate will not reconvene in December.”
Trump has repeatedly urged GOP-led states, including Indiana, to rework their congressional boundaries to lock in stronger Republican advantages ahead of 2026. Vice President JD Vance has made repeated visits to Indiana in recent months, meeting with GOP lawmakers and urging them to follow through with the plan.
Despite the high-profile pressure from Trump and Vance, only 13 out of 40 Indiana Republicans publicly backed the effort, while six openly opposed changing maps drawn just four years ago. Notably, the Indiana state Senate is comprised of 40 Republicans and just 10 Democrats.
On Wednesday, becoming the sixth Republican to speak out, Indiana Senator Jean Leising released a statement, writing, “I have heard from hundreds of constituents on this matter in the past two months, and they are overwhelmingly opposed to mid-cycle congressional redistricting — with only 6% supporting new districts.”
Indiana now marks the latest setback in Trump’s nationwide redistricting campaign, which has run into resistance even in states controlled by Republicans. In Kansas earlier this week, top Republican leaders were prepared to call a special session to redraw the state’s congressional map, but the effort collapsed when a bloc of GOP lawmakers refused to sign on.
While Republicans saw redistricting wins in Texas this summer, California Democrats followed with their own voter-approved plan. Republicans in Missouri and North Carolina, along with Democrats in Virginia, have also adopted new boundaries.
