Indianas House of Representatives, led by Republicans, passed a new congressional redistricting map, potentially adding two more Republican seats in the 2026 midterm elections. This move aligns with former President Donald Trumps call for Republican-led states to expand their majority in the House.

However, under pressure from Trump and Governor Mike Braun, senators will return to make a final decision. The new map could potentially give Republicans all nine of Indianas congressional seats by redrawing districts currently held by Democrats. This development is part of a broader national trend, with other states like Texas, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, and Utah also approving new congressional maps following similar calls for mid-decade redistricting.
