INDIANAPOLIS Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith predicts Gov. Mike Braun will call a special legislative session in early November to redraw congressional district lines, following pressure from President Donald Trump to act five years ahead of schedule.
"Redistricting really has to do with how our voice has been watered down due to the nefarious actions of other states around the country," Beckwith said.
Trump called Indiana State Senate Republicans on Friday, urging them to redraw district lines early. Beckwith described the meeting as the president putting pressure on Senate leaders.
"I think the president is watching Indiana say, 'Okay, who can I trust? Who are my allies in this battle?'" Beckwith said.
However, not all Hoosier Republicans support the early redistricting push.
