Indiana GOP lawmakers defied Trump on redistricting. Now GOP voters may thwart his push for revenge

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Five months ago, Indiana Republican legislators withstood pressure from President Donald Trump and rejected his urgent political demands. Now there are signs here on the ground that GOP voters may be poised to do the same.

Trump and his allies are out for revenge in the Hoosier state’s May 5 primary after the Republican supermajority in the state Senate voted down his demand to redraw Indiana’s congressional map to help the GOP win two more seats in November’s midterm elections.

The president endorsed challengers to seven incumbent Republican state senators who voted against the redistricting measure. The outcome of those Senate primaries will test Trump’s grip on the Republican Party, as voters decide whether to give their party’s state lawmakers room to break with the president — or opt to oust those he sees as disloyal and damaging to his second-term agenda.

Across several political events in Indiana in recent days, a significant share of Republican voters said they are willing to break with Trump.

2. Dont think you have to wonder too much

Mike Pence wants to destroy Trump. He is also very well liked still in Indiana with strong connections to their political establishment. It totally makes sense he would be behind lost of this.
