GOP governor calls Indiana legislature back for Trump's redistricting scheme

Indiana Gov. Mike Braun, a Republican, has called the GOP-controlled legislature back to Indianapolis for an emergency session to redraw the congressional district lines for President Donald Trump.

Punchbowl News congressional reporter Laura Weiss shared Braun's press release, noting that a spokesperson for Senate President Pro Temp Rodric Bray (R) said that “the votes still aren't there for redistricting."

According to Braun, Indiana's maps that were previously drawn didn't "ensure their representation in Congress is fair."

The governor said in a press release that if other states are able to redraw their districts, it would somehow "diminish their voice in Washington." There will not be any more districts in Indiana than there were previously.

Braun also wants Indiana's legislature to fix the state's tax code.

Trump looks likely to lose control of Congress and has rushed to demand red states redraw the congressional district lines in their states to eliminate Democrats so he can maintain the GOP majority.
