The congressional redistricting fight — and Vice President JD Vance — are coming to Indiana. The big picture: Texas Republicans' plan to draw a new congressional map more favorable to the GOP before the 2026 midterms — at the urging of President Trump — has seemingly sparked a chain reaction with Democrats looking to retaliate with new partisan maps of their own.

The brazen partisan redistricting underway in Texas, with Republicans attempting to entrench themselves in office and Democrats weighing a counter-offensive in blue states, was greenlit by the US Supreme Court six years ago.

Gov. Mike Braun said any conversation on redrawing Indiana congressional maps is exploratory, as national GOP redistricting efforts gain momentum.
