Trump suggested Bray would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-the-people-elected-me-to-do-the-job-and-im-doing-it\/\" title=\"...: &#039;The People Elected Me To Do The Job, And I\u2019m Doing It.&#039;\">face political repercussions<\/a> for opposing the plan, which was intended to help Republicans gain additional seats in the U.S.House ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. The proposed map, which would have turned all of Indiana&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >districts republican-majority<\/a> (currently seven of nine are held by Republicans), was rejected 31-19, with some Republicans joining Democrats to keep the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-gop-and-white-house-weigh-options-to-redistrict-house-seats\/\" title=\"Texas GOP and White ... weigh options to redistrict ... seats\">existing district lines<\/a>.

Despite the setback in Indiana, House Speaker Mike Johnson remained optimistic about Republican prospects in the next election cycle. Trump accused Bray of undermining efforts to prevent a Democratic takeover and urged Republicans to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-rips-indiana-republicans-for-abandoning-redistricting-effort\/\" title=\"... rips Indiana ... for abandoning ... effort\">support redistricting efforts<\/a> to strengthen their position.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump said Indiana Senate Republican Leader Rodric Bray will pay a political price after the Senate rejected an attempt to redraw the borders of Indiana&rsquo;s congressional districts.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I heard he was against it. He&rsquo;ll probably lose his next primary whenever that is. I hope he does because he&rsquo;s done a tremendous disservice,&rdquo; Trump said Thursday, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/campaign\/5645665-indiana-senate-gop-map-defeat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Indiana Senate rejected a proposed map that would have made all nine congressional districts in the state Republican-majority districts, as noted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/elections\/indiana-senate-vote-trump-backed-congressional-map-gop-resistance-rcna247833\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBC<\/a>. Currently, seven of Indiana&rsquo;s nine districts are held by Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration has been pushing states to redraw lines ahead of next year&rsquo;s midterm elections. Typically, the party that holds the White House loses seats in midterm elections. In this case, with Republicans narrowly controlling the House, this could conceivably lead to Democrats taking control.<\/p>\n<p>States such as Texas, which rearranged its lines to create five Republican-majority districts, have jumped on board. Indiana was never enthused over the idea, even though the state House voted to adopt the new map.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.src=src; \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.async=true; \t\t\t\t\t\tdocument.body.appendChild(script); \t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\tfunction findPreviousParagraph(selector, x) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst targetElement=document.querySelector(selector); \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!targetElement) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Target element not found.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Get all <\/p>\n<p> elements in order as they appear in the document \t\t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphs=Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(\"p\"));  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the index of the last <\/p>\n<p> before the target element \t\t\t\t\t\tlet targetIndex=paragraphs.findIndex(p=> p.compareDocumentPosition(targetElement) & Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING);  \t\t\t\t\t\tif (targetIndex===-1 || targetIndex <x) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Not enough paragraphs before the target element.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\treturn paragraphs[targetIndex - x]; \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Set up IntersectionObserver \t\t\t\t\tfunction observeElement(element) { \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!element) return;  \t\t\t\t\t\tconst observer=new IntersectionObserver( \t\t\t\t\t\t\t(entries)=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tentries.forEach(entry=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif (entry.isIntersecting) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Paragraph is now visible:\", entry.target.textContent.trim()); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloadScript(\"https:\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player3\/embedcode.js?fk=s28Az7AY\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.disconnect(); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t}, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t{ threshold: 0.5 } \/\/ Adjust threshold as needed \t\t\t\t\t\t);  \t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.observe(element); \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the 1st paragraph before #stnvideo and observe it \t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphToObserve=findPreviousParagraph(\"#stnvideo\", 2); \t\t\t\t\tobserveElement(paragraphToObserve); \t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>But on Thursday, the state Senate ended hopes of an all-red state by voting down the new maps 31-19, with 21 Republicans and 10 Democrats voting to keep district lines the way they are.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alexbruesewitz\/status\/1999234297102823746\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">post on X<\/a>, political strategist Alex Bruesewitz said retribution is coming.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The spineless RINOs in Indiana, many hailing from districts where President Trump won by over 20% just last November have stabbed their own voters in the back and sold out America!&rdquo; he wrote.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The spineless RINOs in Indiana, many hailing from districts where President Trump won by over 20% just last November have stabbed their own voters in the back and sold out America!<\/p>\n<p>We&rsquo;ll be launching primary challenges against every last traitor who voted no, effective&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uuVpN3TSrf\">https:\/\/t.co\/uuVpN3TSrf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Alex Bruesewitz &#127482;&#127480; (@alexbruesewitz) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alexbruesewitz\/status\/1999234297102823746?\">December 11, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ll be launching primary challenges against every last traitor who voted no, effective immediately!
