How Indiana's redistricting rejection affects Trump's push nationwide

(Indianapolis Star) Indiana's resounding rejection of President Donald Trump's mid-decade redistricting plea throws a wrench in his plan to pad the Republican majority in Congress.

Though Indiana only had two seats to offer, the White House was very much counting on them. Now, the math could end up wielding Republicans little to no advantage at the end of all this effort, since Democratic states have also drawn their own new maps ― and there are still more states considering action.

The Indiana Senate rejected the redistricting bill by a 31-19 vote, with a slim majority of Republicans joining Democrats in voting it down. The Hoosier state is the first to outright reject Trump's push.
