The White House has invited Indiana Republican state lawmakers to a meeting at the White House on August 26 to encourage them to redraw the state's congressional maps ahead of the 2026 elections. This initiative is part of a broader push by the White House to influence mid-decade redistricting efforts in Indiana, where GOP lawmakers have shown some resistance. More than four dozen Indiana lawmakers, including State House Speaker Todd Huston and Senate President Rodric Bray, have agreed to attend the meeting, with only two lawmakers declining the invitation so far. White House officials are actively calling individual lawmakers to increase pressure for support on the redistricting plan. This effort is occurring amid ongoing internal dynamics within the Republican Party in the region.
