INDIANAPOLIS — Vice President J.D. Vance returned to Indiana on Friday, meeting with Governor Mike Braun and state Republican leaders to discuss redrawing the state’s congressional maps. The move sparked protests from Hoosiers and Democrats.
The meeting comes amid pressure from the White House to reshape congressional districts ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
Although redistricting typically occurs once per decade, following the U.S. Census, Republicans are weighing whether to pursue a rare mid-cycle adjustment. Governor Braun holds the authority to call a special legislative session to make that happen.
