INDIANAPOLIS—Vice President JD Vance visited Indiana today to pressure Governor Mike Braun and state legislative leaders to redraw Indiana’s congressional maps and tip the scales in Republicans’ favor ahead of next year’s midterm elections.

Stand Up America Managing Director for Policy and Political Affairs Brett Edkins issued the following statement in response to Vance’s visit:

“Vice President JD Vance didn’t visit Indiana for a friendly chat —he was there on marching orders from Donald Trump to strong-arm and intimidate state leaders into rigging the electoral maps in his favor so that Congressional Republicans can avoid accountability from the voters in next year’s midterm elections.

“Hoosiers deserve leaders who listen to them—not bullies from Washington, D.C. doing Trump’s bidding behind closed doors. Governor Braun and Indiana’s leaders should reject any effort to redraw Indiana’s political maps for partisan ends.”
