A proposal to redraw Indiana’s congressional boundaries faced its first public test in the state Senate on Monday, with no clear indication it can win a final vote later in the week despite months of pressure from President Donald Trump.
Senators will take action on a bill designed to favor GOP candidates in the next year’s midterm elections. Republicans control the state Senate, but many have been hesitant or openly opposed to the idea of mid-decade redistricting. Several have been threatened over their stance or refusal to immediately declare support.
