Trump has said he will withhold all federal funding from Indiana if they don't pass a redistricting bill.

President Trump has made it clear to Indiana leaders: if the Indiana Senate fails to pass the map, all federal funding will be stripped from the state. Roads will not be paved. Guard bases will close. Major projects will stop. These are the stakes and every NO vote will be to blame.

"The spineless RINOs in Indiana, many hailing from districts where President Trump won by over 20% just last November have stabbed their own voters in the back and sold out America!" Trump advisor Alex Bruesewitz posted on X. "We'll be launching primary challenges against every last traitor who voted no, effective immediately! Pack your bags, your time is up!"
"Sad," the Williamson County, Tennessee GOP posted on X.

"Who needs enemies with RINO’s like these," Jewels Jones, who co-hosts a podcast with MAGA influencer Phillip Buchanan, also known as Catturd, posted on X.

I'm shocked (although I should know better by now) to see Trump's monarchy being so different from the America I knew so well and enjoyed travelling and being in more than 2 decades ago.

We have to commend the majority of the Republicans in the Indiana State Senate for defying the deviant Trump and the Trumpist-fascist onslaught. They've been subjected to death threats, swatting.

Republican state senators who opposed the gerrymandered map sharply criticized the months-long pressure campaign by Trump and his allies, which led to threats of violence and intimidation against at least 11 state lawmakers.
“I fear for this institution,” Republican state Sen. Greg Walker, chair of the Senate Committee on Elections, said during an emotional speech this week. “I fear for the state of Indiana and I fear for all states if we allow intimidation and threats to become the norm.”

Ultimately, the heavy-handed tactics employed by Trump backfired on the president and his allies.

Republican state Sen. Greg Goode, a key swing vote whom Trump called out by name and who was a victim of a swatting attack , cited the climate of fear and intimidation as a reason why he was opposing the bill.
“Misinformation. Cruel social media posts. Over the top pressure from inside and outside the statehouse. Threats of primaries. Threats of violence. Acts of violence,” Goode said on the Indiana Senate floor on Thursday. “Friends, we’re better than this, are we not?”

Unlike authoritarian Democrats running to gerrymander the states they've already gerrymandered the shit out of, Republicans in Indiana refuse to play the extreme partisanship game, which has pretty much been the story of the last 100 years. Blue states will, of course, continue the process of extreme redistricting. No one thinks for a second democrats states like Virginia or California would ever stand up to partisan pressure. They are no doubt laughing at the naivete of Indiana Republicans.

My god. What's it like over there in la la land?

[querry] Did Trump call for redistricting?

Yes, President Donald Trump has actively and publicly called for mid-decade redistricting in several states to help Republicans gain seats and maintain control of the U.S. House of Representatives ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

This push is unusual because states typically adjust congressional maps only once per decade after the national census. Trump has framed the effort as a necessary measure to "save our Country" and has pressured GOP-led states to redraw district boundaries to favor the Republican Party, a practice known as gerrymandering.

States' Response to Trump's Push:

States that advanced new maps: Texas, Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio have passed new maps in response to Trump's urging. These efforts are facing various legal challenges.

States that resisted: Indiana Republicans notably rejected a Trump-backed redistricting bill on December 11, 2025, in a significant blow to his campaign, with more Republican senators voting against the measure than for it. Kansas and Nebraska lawmakers have also shown resistance.

Democratic response: Democrats in several states, including California and Illinois, have initiated their own redistricting efforts to counter the potential GOP gains.

Trump's campaign has included direct calls to state lawmakers, White House meetings, and threats to support primary challengers against those who oppose the redistricting plans.

Trump is absolutely a tyrant trying to become a dictator. American patriots need to stand up and prevent that from happening.
