Trump and national Republicans pushed Indiana lawmakers for new district lines that could have allowed the party to gain two seats in next year’s midterms.

It's decision day in red state Indiana as the state Senate votes on congressional redistricting championed by President Trump. The new map would create two more GOP-dominated districts.

The Indiana Senate voted against a new Republican-drawn congressional map on Thursday in a major blow to President Donald Trump’s efforts to boost the party in next year’s midterm elections. It failed overwhelmingly in the state Senate by a vote of 31 to 19,

Vice President JD Vance has met with Indiana GOP lawmakers several times this year in Indianapolis and in Washington D.C. to push for a mid-decade redraw. Mr. Trump met with Indiana House and Senate leaders in the Oval Office in August and has called state lawmakers about redistricting.

Republicans in the Indiana Senate rebuked President Trump by rejecting a new congressional map that would have targeted two Democratic seats.

The Indiana Senate voted 31-19 to defeat a mid-census redistricting map Thursday, ending a months-long effort by the Trump administration to shift Indiana’s congressional districts.
