Here's something you don't see every day: Republicans in a solidly red state telling President Donald Trump "thanks, but no thanks" on a key political priority. Indiana Senate Republicans have effectively killed redistricting legislation after failing to round up enough votes to move it forward, despite Trump personally weighing in on the matter.

The Vote Count Problem

Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray (R-Martinsville) delivered the news that Republicans simply don't have the numbers to advance the redistricting plan. According to journalist Adam Wren, who broke the development on X, the Senate won't be reconvening in December as originally planned.

Political Ripples

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg jumped on the news, pointing out that elected Republicans in a "deep-red state" are declining to follow Trump's lead "even after his personal plea." Buttigieg suggested "the balance is shifting" and encouraged supporters to "keep up the pressure everywhere."
