Indiana State Senate

Rule Changes

Five of seven Trump-targeted incumbents defeated in May 5 primaries; Goode survived; District 23 disputed. Chamber expected to pursue redistricting in 2027 session with new pro-Trump majority in place.

Congressional maps are normally redrawn once a decade, but Texas broke that convention in August 2025 at President Trump's urging, redrawing its map to target five Democratic-held seats and triggering a chain reaction. On April 29, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 in Louisiana v. Callais, gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which had constrained Republican legislatures for decades. Within days, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a new map targeting four incumbent Democrats, Alabama called a special redistricting session, Louisiana suspended its upcoming primaries, and Tennessee split Memphis into three Republican-leaning districts.
