Blaming the GOP leader of Indiana’s state Senate for refusing to convene to redraw congressional maps in the Republican Party's favor, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social Sunday to demand his and other Indiana Republicans' oustings, Politico reports.
"Very disappointed in Indiana State Senate Republicans, led by RINO Senators Rod Bray and Greg Goode, for not wanting to redistrict their State, allowing the United States Congress to perhaps gain two more Republican seats. The Democrats have done redistricting for years, often illegally, and all other appropriate Republican States have done it. Because of these two politically correct type 'gentlemen,' and a few others, they could be depriving Republicans of a Majority in the House, A VERY BIG DEAL!" Trump posted.
Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray (R-IN) announced on November 14, that the Indiana Senate will not reconvene to vote on redistricting because there is insufficient support and not enough Republican votes in the chamber to pass the measure.
But Bray’s comes as California Democrats overwhelmingly passed Governor Gavin Newsom's Proposition 50, a ballot measure to redraw five of the state’s congressional districts in Democrats’ favor ahead of next year’s midterms.
Party efforts are also ratcheting up in Democrat-led Illinois and Maryland, Politico reports.
State Sen. Greg Goode (R-IN) has not been leading the push for redistricting, but rather has been an obstacle to the plan, holding a public listening session in Terre Haute in early November 5, where dozens of residents spoke, all overwhelmingly against the mid-cycle redistricting plan.
Goode stated he would not make a final decision on how he would vote until he saw a specific bill and map and had fully heard from his constituents.
Trump also accused Gov. Mike Braun (R-IN) of failing to ensure the measure received the necessary votes to pass.
“Considering that Mike wouldn’t be Governor without me (Not even close!), is disappointing!” Trump said. “Any Republican that votes against this important redistricting, potentially having an impact on America itself, should be PRIMARIED," Trump posted.
"Senators Bray, Goode, and the others to be released to the public later this afternoon, should DO THEIR JOB, AND DO IT NOW! If not, let’s get them out of office, ASAP,” Trump wrote.
