WASHINGTON \u2014 President Trump<\/a> on Sunday lashed out at local GOP lawmakers in Indiana for rejecting his push to redistrict the Hoosier State\u2019s congressional map and give Republicans a boost heading into the 2026 midterms<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump particularly singled out Indiana state Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray and state Sen. Greg Goode as he called for any Republican opposed to his redistricting push to get challenged in the next primary.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of these two politically correct type \u2018gentlemen,\u2019 and a few others, they could be depriving Republicans of a Majority in the House, A VERY BIG DEAL!\u201d Trump fumed on Truth Social<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny Republican that votes against this important redistricting, potentially having an impact on America itself, should be PRIMARIED. Indiana is a State with strong, smart, and patriotic people. They want us to see our Country WIN!\u201d<\/p>\n

Bray announced Friday that the Indiana state Senate, which has a 39 to 10 caucus of Republicans to Democrats, lacks sufficient votes to forge ahead with redistricting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Goode is meanwhile \u201crespectfully\u201d maintaining that he won\u2019t take a position on the redistricting push until he examines any proposal changes to Indiana\u2019s congressional districts, a rep told The Post.<\/p>\n

Indiana has seven Republicans and two Democrats in its delegation to the US House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

Normally, redistricting takes place every 10 years after a census is conducted. Trump\u2019s mid-decade push has sparked a race with Democrats who have sought to squeeze out Republicans in places such as California.<\/p>\n

Historically, the party in control of the White House faces losses in the House. <\/p>\n

Democrats believe their strong showing in the off-year election cycle earlier this month may foreshadow victories in the midterms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WASHINGTON \u2014 President Trump on Sunday lashed out at local GOP lawmakers in Indiana for rejecting his push…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41722,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[858,153,9424,9,11,10,49,51,50,87,2134,58],"class_list":{"0":"post-41721","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-congress","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-indiana","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-headlines","13":"tag-new-york-news","14":"tag-new-york-state","15":"tag-new-york-state-headlines","16":"tag-new-york-state-news","17":"tag-politics","18":"tag-republicans","19":"tag-us-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41721"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41721\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
