A sixth Trump-supported candidate also won the GOP primary in an open seat where a Republican who rejected redistricting decided not to run for reelection.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One senator survived a primary challenge backed by the president on Tuesday. One primary between an anti-redistricting Republican and a Trump endorsee did not have a projected winner as of late Tuesday, with the two candidates separated by a razor-thin margin.<\/p>\n<p>The Statehouse revenge campaign served as a test of Mr. Trump&#8217;s influence over his party in a set of normally low-profile races where Oval Office intervention is virtually unheard of \u2014 and highlighted Mr. Trump&#8217;s intense interest in the nationwide redistricting scramble.<\/p>\n<p>In the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/texas-californias-redistricting-maps\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">race to control the U.S. House<\/a><\/span>, Mr. Trump pushed through a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/texas-congressional-map-redistricting-trump-republicans\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">redistricting plan in Texas<\/a><\/span> to favor Republicans in more seats. This led to an <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/redistricting-effort-virginia-republicans-democrats\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">all-out battle among Democrats and Republicans<\/a><\/span> in state governments across the country, including Indiana, where Mr. Trump won by 19 points in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The White House aggressively courted Indiana Republicans, and the state&#8217;s GOP Gov. Mike Braun endorsed a map that would have given the GOP an advantage in all nine of the state&#8217;s congressional districts, edging out two Democrats. The map <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/indiana-redistricting-vote\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">passed the state House of Representatives<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But it faced opposition in the Senate, with state Senate President Rodric Bray saying it didn&#8217;t have the votes to pass, despite the Republicans having a 40-10 supermajority. The <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/indiana-redistricting-vote-fails-senate-trump\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">legislation failed in a floor vote<\/a><\/span>, with 21 Republicans \u2014 including Bray \u2014 voting against it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The holdouts offered a range of objections, both moral (some said they viewed it as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/politics\/trumps-influence-tested-in-indiana-primaries-after-failed-redistricting-push\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bad precedent<\/a>) and practical (others <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/magazine\/2025\/11\/21\/redistricting-indiana-resistance-00663698\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">warned<\/a> that Republicans won&#8217;t necessarily win all nine House seats in a tough year). Bray <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2026\/05\/04\/politics\/video\/inside-politics-rodric-bray-indiana-redistricting-primary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told CNN on Tuesday<\/a> the GOP caucus was &#8220;fairly evenly split&#8221; on the redistricting issue, but decided &#8220;it wasn&#8217;t the right way for Indiana to move forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ball State University professor Chad Kinsella told CBS News ahead of Tuesday&#8217;s primary, when discussing why the map didn&#8217;t pass the state Senate: &#8220;I think it&#8217;s Hoosiers don&#8217;t like gerrymandering.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ultimately, I think that gerrymandering just doesn&#8217;t play well in Indiana,&#8221; Kinsella added. &#8220;I think those people were also concerned that they couldn&#8217;t go back home and that their constituents would be OK with that.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump lashed out at the Republicans who defied him \u2014 and <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/115698333420423237\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vowed vengeance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He backed candidates in eight contested races Tuesday, accusing the incumbents of betraying their voters in a set of Truth Social posts in which he called them &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116365272431087703\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pathetic<\/a>,&#8221; &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116365273811504261\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">incompetent<\/a>&#8221; and RINOs, or &#8220;Republicans In Name Only.&#8221; He did not issue an endorsement in one seat where the incumbent backed redistricting, and he endorsed 11 incumbents who voted for the new map.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Along with the president&#8217;s endorsements came money from allied groups for the challengers, with Bray estimating on Tuesday that $9 million had come from out of state. In return, the Indiana Senate Republican Caucus has dumped more money into the race than was spent in all of 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>All told, tracking firm AdImpact <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AdImpact_Pol\/status\/2051733435274694964\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tallied some $13.5 million in ad spending<\/a> in the Indiana State Senate primaries this cycle, compared to just under $300,000 two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Even before the redistricting vote, some of the state senators who voted against redistricting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfyi.org\/public-affairs\/2026-02-04\/lawmakers-consider-doxxing-crime-bill-after-redistricting-threats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported being doxxed and harassed<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump also vowed in January: &#8220;We&#8217;re after you Bray, like no one has ever come after you before!&#8221; Indiana has staggered statewide elections, so Bray is not up for reelection until 2028, but his leadership position could be in jeopardy with the results of Tuesday&#8217;s election.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is what it is,&#8221; Bray told CNN Tuesday about Mr. Trump&#8217;s vow to come after him. Although a lot has changed in the redistricting wars since December, Bray said he has &#8220;no regrets&#8221; over the vote&#8217;s outcome.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Indiana&#8217;s going to do things the way Indiana needs to do them,&#8221; Bray said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump&#8217;s allies in Indiana applauded Tuesday&#8217;s results. Braun, the governor, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/braun4indiana\/status\/2051835771238203645\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">called<\/a> it a &#8220;historic night for Indiana,&#8221; and Republican Sen. Jim Banks <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Jim_Banks\/status\/2051818458417905955\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote on X that<\/a> he was &#8220;proud to have helped elect more conservative Republicans to the Indiana State Senate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One of the lawmakers to lose their primary on Tuesday was state Sen. Travis Holdman, a longtime incumbent who serves in GOP leadership as majority caucus chair.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In brief remarks after the election, Trump-endorsed challenger Blake Fiechter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1CSS7DPKlwo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">thanked<\/a> Holdman for his 18 years of service. He promised that he&#8217;s &#8220;ready to turn the page&#8221; and represent everybody in the district, which covers a swath of eastern Indiana including the city of Bluffton and part of Fort Wayne.<\/p>\n<p>Holdman stood by his vote on redistricting in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indystar.com\/videos\/news\/politics\/2026\/05\/05\/indiana-state-sen-travis-holdman-speaks-after-losing-primary-to-blake-fiechter\/89955183007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview with the Indianapolis Star<\/a>, and said he wasn&#8217;t bitter about the outcome. He said his takeaway from his loss was: &#8220;Revenge and retribution is not a Christian value.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!--
