Indiana Gov. Mike Braun on Tuesday ramped up pressure on the state Senate to draw a new congressional map that would favor Republicans, following a phone call with President Donald Trump earlier this week.
The first-term Republican said he would work to “compel” the chamber to carry out the president’s wishes, despite Senate leaders acknowledging they don’t have the votes.
Republicans failed on Tuesday to call a special session next month, though party leadership is asking members to keep the first two weeks of December open in case Braun can convince enough of them to change their minds.
