"In Indiana, Trump's political operation is targeting seven state senators who opposed the push to redraw House maps to add more Republican seats. This effort runs counter to the conservative principle of state's rights."
"What is being set up here is the potential model for any party to raise ridiculous amounts of money in DC and then to use that to try to control the states, which undermines the constitution."
Republicans are navigating significant gerrymandering challenges in Indiana and Ohio. In Indiana, Trump targets state senators who opposed redistricting efforts. In Ohio, new maps were mandated due to previous court rulings. The current map has minor adjustments, not entirely favoring Republicans. These primaries follow a Supreme Court decision that may allow the elimination of majority-minority districts. Trump's low approval ratings contribute to competitive races for governor and U.S. Senate in Ohio, presenting opportunities for Democrats to regain control.
