We're not actually even talking about the general elections yet.

The Times says several Republican-led states quickly fell in line last year when Mr. Trump demanded redrawn maps.

You may remember that Indiana Republicans tried to push back against that.

So, quote, when lawmakers returned to Indianapolis in December, the House approved a new map, which would have positioned Republicans to flip the state's two Democratic-held congressional seats.

But the Senate said no, and a slim majority of Republicans joined all Democratic senators to vote the bill down.

Those senators who were on the ballot for reelection, not all of them were, but the ones who were faced, I've seen estimates between $8 million and $12 million from Trump

groups, like national Trump groups, basically, and not even secretly, but very openly, who then said, OK, that's it.

You're gone.

And basically, all of them ended up losing, with the exception of one as of right now, losing their primary battles last night.

So brutal day for Indiana Republicans who wanted to

push back against Trump, basically.

Again, as of now, just one who is clinging to, in a high-profile race, who's clinging to the seat.

But, you know, the way that I would describe this

We're in an arms race now on gerrymandering.

There's no question about it.

This was after Texas, which then you saw California, and the redistricting has been going on in states.

And propelled by the Voting Rights Act decision because that opens up redistricting possibilities everywhere from Alabama to Mississippi to Tennessee.

Right.

Because what they can do is they can just eliminate the civil rights issues

Act or the Voting Rights Act required basically majority black district.
