Indiana Gov. Mike Braun has called a special legislative session starting Nov. 3 to consider redrawing the state’s congressional map, aiming to ensure “fair” representation, though GOP support remains uncertain.

The move aligns Indiana with other Republican-led states, including Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina, where mid-decade redistricting efforts aim to bolster the party’s House majority ahead of 2026.

Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance have actively lobbied Indiana Republicans, but divisions persist, with some lawmakers resisting pressure and calling for cautious deliberation.

Mid-decade redistricting has also sparked Democratic counter-efforts in states like California, Virginia, and New York, where voters and lawmakers challenge maps they see as diluting minority voting power, NBC News has reported.

The broader trend reflects an aggressive, partisan push nationwide to reshape congressional representation before the next election cycle.
