Trump Blasts Indiana ‘RINOs’ for Blocking Redistricting and Risking GOP House Majority [WATCH]

President Donald Trump publicly criticized two Indiana Republican lawmakers over their refusal to move forward with a redistricting vote ahead of next year’s midterm elections.

His remarks focused on Indiana Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray and state Sen. Greg Goode, following an announcement earlier in the week that the chamber would not reconvene in December to consider new congressional maps.

As reported by RedState, Bray said the Indiana Senate, which is controlled by Republicans, would not return to session next month to take up the issue.

Trump responded on his Truth Social account, writing, “Very disappointed in Indiana State Senate Republicans, led by RINO Senators Rod Bray and Greg Goode, for not wanting to redistrict their State, allowing the United States Congress to perhaps gain two more Republican seats.”

Trump said the decision could have national implications for the balance of power in the House of Representatives.

“Because of these two politically correct type ‘gentlemen,’ and a few others, they could be depriving Republicans of a Majority in the House,” he said.

He described the matter as “a very big deal!” and noted ongoing efforts by Democrats in other states.

“California is trying to pick up five seats, and no one is complaining about that,” he wrote.

“It’s weak ‘Republicans’ that cause our Country such problems — It’s why we have crazy Policies and Ideas that are so bad for America.”

Trump also addressed Indiana Governor Mike Braun, whom he called a friend, and said Braun should be pushing for a vote.

“Braun, perhaps, is not working the way he should to get the necessary votes,” the President wrote.

I called for our legislators to convene to ensure Hoosiers’ voices in Washington, DC are not diluted by the democrats’ gerrymandering. Our state senators need to do the right thing and show up to vote for fair maps. Hoosiers deserve to know where their elected officials stand on…

He added that Republicans opposed to redistricting “should be primaried.”

Braun released a statement expressing his position on the issue. “I called for our legislators to convene to ensure Hoosiers’ voices in Washington, D.C., are not diluted by the Democrats’ gerrymandering,” he said.

“Our state senators need to do the right thing and show up to vote for fair maps. Hoosiers deserve to know where their elected officials stand on important issues.”

Trump said Bray and Goode should align with voters in Indiana, noting his margin of victory in the state.

He warned that additional Republicans who oppose the redistricting effort would be identified publicly. In a statement written in all capital letters, Trump said the lawmakers “should do their job, and do it now,” adding, “If not, let’s get them out of office, ASAP.”

Several Trump supporters reacted on social media.

Trump advisor Alex Brueswitz said the decision represented “a monumental betrayal” and wrote, “Spineless RINO ‘legislators’ have sabotaged and buried Republicans’ vital redistricting push. And they are letting Gavin Newsom & left-wing Democrats get closer to stealing the House.”

A MONUMENTAL BETRAYAL IS UNFOLDING IN INDIANA RIGHT NOW.

Spineless RINO “legislators” have sabotaged and buried Republicans’ vital redistricting push. And they are letting Gavin Newsom & left-wing Democrats get closer to stealing the house.

Goode responded to criticism in a post on X.

“For those trying to bully me on redistricting, I love you,” he wrote.

“I pray to our Lord and Savior for wisdom and reflect on political heroes who stood up for the greater good above the politics of the day.”
