Heritage Action Threatens to Defund Indiana If GOP Senators Block Trump Redistricting Map
Heritage Action posted on X that President Trump would strip all federal funding from Indiana if its Senate failed to pass the Trump-backed congressional redistricting map, warning "Roads will not be paved. Guard bases will close. Major projects will stop." The post was disputed by sources close to redistricting negotiations who called it "colossally stupid and fake." Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith appeared to confirm that pulling federal funding had been discussed before deleting his post.
