"It's funny because I won Indiana all three times by a landslide. And I wasn't working on it very hard. Would've been nice. I think we would've picked up two seats if we did that. And you had one gentleman, the head of the Senate, I guess, Bray, whatever his name is. I heard he was against it. He'll probably lose his next primary, whenever that is. I hope he does, because he's done a tremendous disservice. I mean, think of it."
"On Thursday, Indiana senators voted down a map designed to give Republicans a 9-0 advantage among the state's congressional delegation. Twenty-one Republicans joined 10 Democrats to defeat the measure, which Trump lobbied for in the hopes of helping the GOP maintain the House after next year's midterm elections. One of the Republicans who opposed the measure was Senate President Pro Tempore Rod Bray."
Indiana senators voted down a congressional map designed to give Republicans a 9-0 advantage, with 21 Republicans joining 10 Democrats to defeat the measure. The map had been lobbied for by Donald Trump to help the GOP retain the House in next year's midterms. Senate President Pro Tempore Rod Bray was among the Republican opponents. After the vote, Trump spoke in the Oval Office, highlighted his past landslide victories in Indiana, and pledged to support a primary challenge to Bray. Trump described Bray's opposition as a tremendous disservice and predicted Bray would likely lose a future primary.
