Hoosier Senate members have decisively rejected Indianaβs contentious mid-decade redistricting plan, marking a significant setback for Republican efforts to redraw congressional boundaries in favor of GOP advantage. After hours of debate, the Senate voted 31-19 against House Bill 1032 β a proposal that targeted Democratic-leaning areas. Notably, 21 Republicans joined Democrats in voting against the measure, illustrating intra-party disagreements and resistance to Trump-era pressure. Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray initially resisted calling lawmakers back early for the vote, citing a lack of support, but ultimately bowed to criticism, acknowledging that the caucus has differing opinions on how to secure a GOP majority in the U.S. House. Will this halt GOP attempts or galvanize future efforts?
