Red State Unveils New Congressional Map That Could Give GOP Advantage In 2026 Midterms

Indiana Republicans rolled out an aggressive draft congressional map that hands the GOP a clear advantage in all nine House districts, a move that could give the party two more seats in the Hoosier State. However, the path to passage is still a political obstacle course.

The most dramatic shift comes in the two Democratic-held districts represented by Reps. Frank Mrvan and André Carson. Mapmakers sliced up Marion County, home to Indianapolis, into four pieces, weakening Democrats’ stronghold in the state’s largest population center.

The proposal tracks closely with President Donald Trump’s push for a full GOP sweep. Whether lawmakers can muscle it through is another matter.

State House Speaker Todd Huston insists his caucus has the votes. Speaker Mike Johnson amped up lawmakers over the weekend in what one person familiar with the call described as very “rah rah” as Republicans geared up for the fight.

The plan’s future in the state Senate is shakier. President Pro Tem Rodric Bray remains a holdout, brushing off pressure from the White House and national groups.

“It seems like the public is talking about this in terms of a binary choice: either 7-2 or redistricting and get 9-0,” Bray told POLITICO last month. “That is not clear at all to me, because we don’t know who’s going to run.”
