UPDATE (August 20, 2025)

(ADAMS) – Indiana’s Republicans in the U.S. House are all uniting behind the effort to redistrict the Hoosier state in time for the 2026 election as part of President Trump’s plan to win one or two more GOP seats in the state. State House Republicans, however, have not said they are behind the politically-charged proposal. House Speaker Todd Huston says they “had a good conversation” after a two-hour meeting yesterday, but gave no details on where they stand.

ORIGINAL STORY:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (ADAMS) – Governor Mike Braun says Republican lawmakers are seriously considering redrawing Indiana’s congressional maps. He says he has not decided if he will call a special session and adds it depends on what happens in Texas.
