Redistricting rift growing among Indiana Republicans

Wednesday, November 19, 2025-Tensions are rising within Indiana’s Republican Party as disagreements over redistricting take center stage. Party leaders and state lawmakers are clashing over proposed maps, with some expressing concern that certain districts could favor one faction over another.

The debate comes as primary elections approach, heightening the stakes for lawmakers who want to secure safe districts for their preferred candidates. Critics argue that the current proposals could dilute voter influence in key areas, while supporters say the maps are necessary to maintain party advantage and compliance with legal requirements.
