Vice President JD Vance is considering a trip to Indianapolis to urge Governor Mike Braun and Republican leaders to redraw Indiana's congressional map ahead of the 2026 elections. The current map stands at seven Republican and two Democratic seats, with proposals to increase Republican seats to either eight or nine, potentially reducing Democratic representation to one or none. Several states are evaluating redistricting plans for 2026, including Texas (five seats), Florida (three to five seats), Ohio (two seats), Indiana (one to two seats), Missouri (one seat), and California (five seats, requiring a constitutional amendment). In California, Governor Gavin Newsom has suggested the state will remain predominantly Democratic, a stance criticized for overlooking the presence of conservative areas and raising concerns about potential illegal gerrymandering. Former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has expressed readiness to oppose Newsom on redistricting efforts. Missouri is also expected to pursue mid-decade redistricting, according to Lieutenant Governor David Wasinger.
