Here we go again—Democrats are screeching about “protecting democracy,” but when it comes to redistricting, suddenly it’s all backroom deals, judicial activism, and gerrymandering that would make a Chicago ward boss blush. The map wars are heating up, and Indiana—solid red Indiana—is the latest battleground. And yes, Donald J. Trump is right in the thick of it, because when it comes to keeping the House majority, he’s not leaving anything to chance.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t some radical idea cooked up in a smoky Mar-a-Lago backroom. Redistricting is a political tool that both parties use. Always have. The difference? When Republicans do it, the media cries “attack on democracy!” But when California nukes their supposedly “nonpartisan” redistricting commission and hands the pen back to the Democrat legislature? Not a peep. Not even a whimper. Just glowing headlines about “voter empowerment.”
Corruption in Indiana!
State Senator Michael Bohacek isn’t blocking redistricting because of anything Trump said, it’s because his wife, Melissa, got $1.5 million from Democrat Rep Frank Mrvan, whose district would be eliminated???

(@RealHickory) Meanwhile in Indiana, the GOP is flexing its supermajority muscles—and yes, it’s about time. The new map could flip the 1st District from blue-leaning to red, and you’d think it was the apocalypse the way Democrats are reacting. Of course, Trump’s not just watching from the sidelines. He’s doing what he does best: calling out the foot-draggers in his own party and reminding them—loudly—that this isn’t a spectator sport.
Michael Bohacek must be primaried NOW!

Take State Senate Leader Rodric Bray. Two weeks ago, he said there just wasn’t enough support to move forward with redistricting. Cue the Trump post calling him a RINO and warning he’d soon face a “Primary Problem.” Translation: If you’re standing in the way of keeping the House red, you’re standing on borrowed time. Suddenly, Bray’s singing a different tune. Now the Senate’s reconvening on December 8 to take up whatever the House sends their way. Amazing what a little political accountability can do.
Let’s not pretend this is some rogue move either. Trump’s not asking for special favors. He’s demanding that Republicans in Republican states act like—wait for it—Republicans. And with J.D. Vance making multiple trips to Indiana, it’s clear the White House sees this as critical. You can bet your bottom dollar they’re not letting what happened in 2018 happen again. That midterm flip cost the America First agenda dearly. It’s not happening twice.
Governor Mike Braun? He got a bit of friendly fire too. Trump called him a “good man” but made it crystal clear: produce the votes, or prepare to be the only Republican governor who fumbled the ball. To his credit, Braun is now proudly locking arms with the president and backing the redistricting push, calling it essential to the success of the MAGA agenda. Sounds like someone got the message.
Of course, Democrats are pulling every lever they can to offset these moves. In California, they just used Prop 50 to blow up the nonpartisan pretense and gift themselves up to five new blue-leaning districts. Maryland, Illinois, Virginia—same game, different map. And let’s not forget the judicial twist in Utah, where a liberal judge tossed the GOP’s map and handed the Democrats a shiny new district. Allegedly fair and balanced? Please.
Even Texas, one of the GOP’s crown jewels, just hit a judicial speed bump. Two federal judges blocked their new map—allegedly because it didn’t comply with federal standards. The Supreme Court’s already stepped in with a temporary stay, but don’t be surprised if that battle goes all the way to the top.
So yes, Indiana matters. And Trump knows it. This isn’t about one state—it’s about the math. The House majority is tight. One or two seats could decide whether we keep pushing forward with border security, energy independence, and economic sanity—or whether we let the left turn the House back into a circus of endless investigations and social engineering.

(@Chicago1Ray) If you think this is just another legislative squabble, think again. This is a full-blown political chess match, and Trump isn’t waiting for anyone to catch up. The GOP either locks this down now, or it risks another surprise in 2026. And if there’s one thing Trump’s made clear, it’s that he’s not in the mood to lose.
