President Trump ‘very disappointed’ in Indiana Senate Republicans

INDIANAPOLIS — President Donald Trump is criticizing Indiana State Senate Republicans in a Truth Social post, saying he is “very disappointed” that lawmakers do not want to move forward with redistricting. He also said that Governor Mike Braun “wouldn’t be governor without him.”

This comes after Indiana Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray, a Republican, announced Friday that the Indiana Senate will not return in December to vote on redistricting, due to a lack of votes.

The Trump Administration has been adamantly pushing mid-decade redistricting in Indiana in an attempt to gain more Republican seats in the 2026 midterm elections. Redistricting is traditionally tied to the census, with new maps drawn every 10 years. Vice President J.D. Vance even flew to Indiana to try and convince state Republicans to comply with the president’s unprecedented demand for mid-decade redistricting.

In his Truth Social post, Trump refers to Braun as “a friend of mine,” but then says that Braun “perhaps, is not working the way he should to get the necessary votes.” Trump continues by saying, “Mike wouldn’t be Governor without me (Not even close!).”

The president goes even further, implying Republicans who don’t agree with his desires to be “weak” while also calling for “any republican that votes against this important redistricting” to be primaried.

In the final line of the post, he says senators should “do their job,” adding, “if not, let’s get them out of office ASAP.”
