Indiana Republicans rejected a proposed congressional map that would have heavily favored the GOP, a move seen as a rebuke to Donald Trump's efforts to influence redistricting nationwide. The measure failed in the state Senate by a vote of 19-31, with 21 Republicans joining Democrats in opposition. The proposed map would have carved up Indianapolis to create nine Republican-leaning districts, eliminating Democratic strongholds. The vote came amidst a national push by Republicans to redraw congressional districts to gain seats in the upcoming midterm elections. Trump pressured Indiana Republicans to pass the map, but several Republicans, including State Senator Greg Goode, cited the will of their constituents as the reason for their opposition.
