The number of Indiana Republican senators facing threats of violence for opposing redistricting has increased, raising concerns among all lawmakers in the Statehouse.
The long-simmering disagreement over an Indiana congressional redistricting has exploded into a political spectacle, with President Donald Trump warning Republican state senators of electoral retribution.
The Republican leader of the Indiana state Senate announced Friday that his chamber will no longer meet in December as planned to vote on redistricting, citing a lack of support from his members even after months of pressure from the White House.
In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump wrote that he was “very disappointed in Indiana State Senate Republicans.” He also warned that he plans to back primary challengers against GOP lawmakers who refuse to redraw the state’s congressional maps.
The White House had pressured state Republican lawmakers to redraw their congressional map ahead of the midterm elections.
The president's criticism comes after Indiana's state GOP Senate leader announced that there was not enough support for lawmakers to pursue redistricting.
