Frank Mrvan and Andr\u00e9 Carson. Mapmakers split Marion County \u2014 home to Indianapolis \u2014 into four different districts, essentially diluting the Democrats&#8217; strength in the area.<\/p>\n<p>While the map is in line with President Donald Trump\u2019s request for a GOP sweep, it still faces a number of obstacles in order to pass.<\/p>\n<p>State House Speaker Todd Huston has consistently said his caucus could pass the new map, and Speaker Mike Johnson huddled with lawmakers this weekend in what was described by one person briefed on the call as very &#8220;rah rah&#8221; ahead of them convening.<\/p>\n<p>The map\u2019s fate in the state Senate, where President Pro Tem Rodric Bray remains opposed, is still uncertain. The White House and other outside groups continue to ramp up pressure on lawmakers resistant to redistricting, and one even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wishtv.com\/news\/indiana-republican-targeted-in-pipe-bomb-threat-over-redistricting\/\" target=\"_blank\"><u>faced threats of a pipe bomb over the weekend<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans who oppose redrawing have said its best to focus the GOP\u2019s energy on flipping a district outright instead of changing the playing field.<\/p>\n<p>The draft map&#8217;s release comes after months of back and forth between the White House and Indiana lawmakers, including two visits to the state from Vice President JD Vance.<\/p>\n<p>The state House is expected to vote on the map this week, and the state Senate is meeting next week to weigh the version passed by the House. Turning Point USA, one of the GOP groups pushing for a new map, is planning a rally at the statehouse on Friday.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><p>This <a target='_blank'  href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2025\/12\/01\/indiana-house-proposed-redistricting-map-00671228\">post<\/a> was originally published on <a target='_blank'  href=\"https:\/\/rss.politico.com\/politics-news.xml\">this site<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indiana state House Republicans have released a draft congressional map that would give the GOP&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-128523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Indiana House releases draft congressional map that could net Republicans 2 seats - Marin &amp;
