TL;DR Summary
President Donald Trump flexed his influence in Indiana by backing challengers who defeated five of seven GOP state senators who opposed his redistricting plan, with spending totaling around $13.5 million. Only one Trump-backed incumbent won. The results illustrate his ongoing grip on the Republican Party despite mixed national approval and signal further high-stakes primaries ahead.
