Trump targets Indiana GOP senators in primary retribution

Voters in Ohio and Indiana are heading to the polls for key primary elections on Tuesday, with significant attention focused on Indiana's state Senate races. President Donald Trump is actively involved in these contests, endorsing primary challengers against seven Republican state senators who voted against his push to redraw the state's congressional map to favor Republicans. The Indiana state Senate rejected the redistricting plan last year, despite pressure from the White House, with 21 Republicans joining Democrats in opposition. The current congressional map in Indiana favors Republicans, with seven of the nine districts represented by GOP members. Trump and Indiana Governor Mike Braun have backed challengers in these races, while allied groups have poured millions into the campaigns. The elections will test Trump's influence over the Republican Party and the consequences for lawmakers who defy his agenda. In Ohio, voters will also decide primary races for Senate, House, and governor positions, with the state's political landscape shifting in recent years.
