The Indiana House of Representatives on Dec. 5 passed a bill that would revise the state’s maps for congressional representation, which have been demanded by President Donald Trump to ensure Republicans can win more seats in the U.S. House of Representatives during the 2026 general elections.
The maps would make changes to the only two U.S. House districts in the state that are represented by Democrats—the First District of Rep. Frank Mrvan, and the Seventh District of Rep. André Carson—by adding several Republican-leaning areas to them. It would hurt their chances of reelection or, if they chose to retire, the Democratic Party’s chances of retaining those seats.
