Trump backs challengers as Indiana GOP senators face primaries over redistricting

President Donald Trump is targeting seven Indiana Republican state senators who blocked his bid to redraw the state's congressional maps, endorsing primary challengers and labeling the incumbents as incompetent or RINOs. The Indiana redistricting effort failed in 2025 as many Republicans sided with Democrats, and eight of the targeted lawmakers face reelection in 2026. The piece also notes Trump’s broader map-redrawing push, the districts he carried in 2024, and provides context on Indiana’s primaries, including a Democratic contest in the 7th District and how vote counting is handled by the AP.
