Indiana GOP Faces Backlash After Decision Seen as MASSIVE Betrayal of Trump-Backed Map

Go to Article

In a stunning betrayal to President Trump, the Indiana State Senate just rejected new congressional maps.

If it had passed, the re-districting measure would have eliminated all Democrat House seats in the state!

However, RINOS tanked the vote.

This clip shows exactly how each Indiana state Senator voted:

And, here’s a screenshot of the names for a closer look (red voted “no” on the new map):

Ultimately, the final vote was 31-19.

The Hill has more:

The Indiana Senate failed to pass a new GOP-favored House map on Thursday, dealing a major blow to President Trump after he had publicly pressured state lawmakers to approve the new lines.

The upper chamber voted against the map on a 31-19 vote. Its rejection of the aggressive 9-0 House map leaves the Hoosier State’s redistricting effort in limbo. The result was not entirely unexpected, as a number of Indiana senators had been openly skeptical about redrawing the map.

Their defiance despite Trump’s pressure campaign threatens to mire the party in a civil war heading into the midterms, as the president has vowed to primary any Indiana Republicans who didn’t vote for the map.

The intraparty tensions come as Trump and his allies have been pressuring Republicans across the country to redraw their congressional lines as they seek to minimize their losses heading into what is expected to be a challenging midterm environment. The party redrew maps in Texas, North Carolina and Missouri, and could also pick up two additional seats in Ohio, which was already mandated to redraw its map this year.

These RINOs not only back-stabbed President Trump, but their own voters as well.

All of them need to face primaries.

Take a look at some of these responses:
