Indiana Governor Mike Braun has summoned lawmakers for a special session to redraw congressional maps, amid mounting pressure from national Republican figures, including former President Trump. While the aim is to bolster Republican representation, the initiative faces challenges as Senate leaders indicate a lack of sufficient votes to support the proposed redistricting changes. Demonstrations are occurring in response to the call for the special session, with local officials and representatives speaking out against the motivations behind the redistricting efforts. The political landscape remains tense as lawmakers weigh their options and the implications of a mid-decade redistricting in Indiana.
