Indiana House Republicans pass Trump-backed map, setting up high-stakes Senate fight

Indiana state House Republicans passed a new state congressional map Friday at the behest of President Donald Trump, advancing the legislation to the state Senate, where it is unclear if enough lawmakers will support its final passage. Republican lawmakers voted 57-41 in favor of the map, which splits the city of Indianapolis into four districts to help the GOP potentially win all nine Indiana congressional seats. While Trump and many other Republicans are celebrating the passage, the map faces its true test in the state Senate, where many GOP lawmakers have opposed mid-decade redistricting.
