President Donald Trump’s hopes for a wave of red-state gerrymanders to help Republicans maintain control of the U.S. House in 2026 took a step closer to reality Monday, as the Indiana Senate Elections Committee voted 6–3 to advance a controversial mid-decade redistricting bill that would all but guarantee the GOP wins all nine of the state’s congressional seats.

The vote sends the gerrymander bill to the full Senate, where its fate remains uncertain amid deep Republican divisions and an unprecedented pressure campaign from Trump and his allies.

Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray (R) has repeatedly said the upper chamber does not have enough Republicans supporting the measure for the map to pass, but Monday’s committee action marked the clearest sign yet that GOP leaders may still attempt to force a floor showdown later this week.

BREAKING: Indiana Senate Republicans advanced a Trump-demanded gerrymander designed to wipe out the state’s last Democratic seats and hand the GOP all 9 House districts.

The map now heads to a full Senate vote, where GOP success remains uncertain.
