Indiana Gov. Mike Braun calls a special session to redraw the state’s congressional boundaries

Indiana Republican Gov. Mike Braun has called a special session and directed state lawmakers to redraw the state’s congressional districts. The move on Monday expands a national fight over midcycle redistricting that was prompted by President Donald Trump’s focus on giving Republicans an easier path to maintaining control of the House. Indiana lawmakers have the sole power to draw new maps, and Republicans hold supermajorities in both chambers of the Indiana Legislature. They are expected to target the state’s only two Democrats in its nine-member congressional delegation.
