Why Indiana GOP voters want their senators to defy Trump's threats

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republicans in the Indiana state Senate could give President Donald Trump a major political black eye this week — and the conservative voters who elected them say they don’t mind.

The state Senate is set to gather Monday to start a weeklong process of considering new congressional maps that could deliver the party a clean sweep of Indiana’s nine seats, boosting the GOP’s chances of retaining its narrow US House majority in next year’s midterm elections. How the week unfolds will test Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray’s claim that the party does not have enough votes to pass new maps, despite holding a 40-10 supermajority.

Trump and his political allies have turned the Indiana state Senate’s vote into a loyalty test with dramatic ramifications — with the president vowing to leverage his political might to oust those who break with his wishes in future primaries, and a number of pro-Trump groups and conservative influencers insisting they’ll support those efforts.

But those promises don’t appear to be generating any kind of groundswell of conservative grassroots support for redistricting in Indiana. CNN visited towns across a swath of the state last week and found that many Republican voters — including those with long histories of supporting Trump — are greeting the redistricting debate with a shrug.
