A state Senate panel on Monday approved legislation to redraw Indiana’s congressional district map that is expected to give Republicans two additional seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The Indiana State House passed the bill on Friday in a 57-41 vote.
Indiana Gov. Mike Braun, a Republican, had called for a special session to pass the new map after speaking with President Donald Trump. Bruan called on Indiana state senators “to do the right thing and show up to vote for fair maps.”
“I called for our legislators to convene to ensure Hoosiers’ voices in Washington, D.C., are not diluted by the Democrats’ gerrymandering,” he said on X. “Hoosiers deserve to know where their elected officials stand on important issues.”

“Democrats are trying to steal our seats everywhere, and we’re not going to let this happen!” the president wrote.
