The Indiana Senate voted 31-19 to reject Trump's congressional redistricting bill, with 21 of 40 Republican senators joining all 10 Democrats in opposition. The map would have cracked Democratic-leaning districts to create a 9-0 Republican congressional delegation. Senate President Pro Tem Rod Bray led the resistance despite Trump's threats, JD Vance's two lobbying visits, and White House meetings with state lawmakers. The defeat was the first time Trump's redistricting campaign was blocked by Republicans.

The Indiana House of Representatives passed a Trump-backed congressional redistricting bill 57-41, with 12 Republicans joining all Democrats in opposition. The map cracked Indiana's two remaining Democratic districts — the 1st District in Northwest Indiana (Rep. Frank Mrvan) and the 7th District in Indianapolis (Rep. André Carson) — to create a 9-0 Republican congressional delegation. The bill advanced to the Indiana Senate, which defeated it on December 11.
