Trump-backed wave reshapes Indiana Senate over redistricting

President Trump’s effort to oust Indiana Republicans who opposed last year’s redistricting largely succeeded in Tuesday’s GOP primaries: five of the six anti-redistricting incumbents were toppled by Trump-endorsed challengers, a seventh Trump-backed candidate won an open-seat race, and one incumbent survived while another contest remained too close to call. The effort highlighted Trump’s influence in state-level redistricting battles, backed by heavy ad spending and out-of-state money, with Indiana’s governor praising the results and Senate leaders warning against retaliation as the redistricting wars reshape the state Senate ahead of future elections.
