‘This is a very clear warning’: After Indiana, redistricting pressure mounts in the South - POLITICO

On Sunday night, Trump made his desires clear. 

“We cannot allow there to be an Election that is conducted unconstitutionally simply for the ‘convenience’ of State Legislatures. If they have to vote twice, so be it,” he posted on Truth Social. “The byproduct is that the Republicans will receive more than 20 House Seats in the upcoming Midterms!”…

What to know as Ohio and Indiana hold primary elections today : NPR

"What is being set up here is the potential model for any party to raise ridiculous amounts of money in D.C. and then to use that to try to control the states," said Deery.

Indiana GOP rejects Trump’s map in major blow to his gerrymandering push - POLITICO

It's a major setback for the president as well and a blow to his party's hopes of gerrymandering their way to a House majority in 2028 — and it set off alarm bells with top MAGA allies. 

"We have a huge problem," said former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, who simulcasted The War Room show live from a suburban Indianapolis hotel to boost support for redistricting. "People have to realize that we only have a couple opportunities. We've got a net five to 10 seats. If we don't get a net 10 pickup in the redistricting wars, it's going to be enormously hard, if not impossible, to hold the House."…

Indiana high school cancels Jodi Picoult play in act she calls 'censorship'

White House officials turn up the heat on Indiana redistricting - POLITICO

It's not just the White House that's amping up the pressure. MAGA faithfuls, like influencer Charlie Kirk, have also been telling Indiana lawmakers to get on board. In a recent post on X, Kirk asked if Indiana state officials are "going to ignore President Trump, the majority of their voters, and the GOP Grassroots across the country by REFUSING to redistrict Indiana's Congressional Seats? Let's hope they are better than that!" 

At the same time, a recent robocall received by a POLITICO reporter living in Indiana accuses Democratic Govs. Gavin Newsom of California and Kathy Hochul of New York of using redistricting with a goal of "ending the Trump presidency" and urges listeners to call GOP state Rep. David Hall and tell him to back the effort. 

"We can stop these radicals by doing our own redistricting here in Indiana," the call said...
