Trump Reportedly Calls on Indiana Republicans To Redistrict State

While Democrats in California are redistricting to take more political power, Republicans in Indiana don’t have enough votes to redistrict the state. 

President Donald Trump's team is reportedly pushing Indiana lawmakers to redistrict and to give Republicans two more seats in the U.S. House. 

While the 2028 election is years away, political parties are trying to gain an advantage by gaining power and tipping control of Congress. 

Republicans currently hold the House and Senate. 



In November, California voters passed Proposal 50, which aims to give Democrats more seats in the U.S. House.

The Department of Justice has sued and asked a court to toss the proposal. The lawsuit claims that the California redistricting maps use race as a proxy to advance political interests.
