""If Republicans will not do what is necessary to save our Country, they will eventually lose everything to the Democrats,""
""Competition is healthy my friends," said Sen. Fady Qaddoura. "Any political party on earth that cannot run and win based on the merits of its ideas is unworthy of governing.""
"The proposed map was designed to give Republicans control of all nine of Indiana's congressional seats, up from the seven they currently hold. It would effectively erase Indiana's two Democrat-held districts by splitting Indianapolis into four districts that extend into rural areas, reshaping U.S. Rep. André Carson's safe district in the city."
Indiana's Republican-led senate voted down a redrawn congressional map Thursday that would have favored Republicans in the 2026 elections. Twenty-one Republican senators and all 10 Democrats rejected the plan after pressure from President Donald Trump urging mid-cycle gerrymanders to create more winnable House seats. Trump criticized resisting senators and pledged to back primary challengers; some lawmakers received violent threats during the month-long debate. Democratic senators opposed the legislation, with Sen. Fady Qaddoura saying competition is healthy and parties must win on the merits of their ideas. The proposed map would have increased Republican seats by splitting Indianapolis into districts extending into rural areas and erasing two Democrat-held districts, including reshaping Rep. André Carson's safe district.
