Meet the FIVE SPINELESS RINO Indiana State Senators Who Are Blocking Redistricting in a Deep-Red State Trump Won by 19 Points | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft
Indiana voters should be furious.
In a state Trump carried by 19 points, where Republicans hold a supermajority in both chambers, redistricting should have been a slam dunk to secure the 2026 midterms.
Instead, five weak-kneed RINOs tried to sabotage the redistricting vote, collapse the GOP strategy, and block a legitimate effort to strengthen Indiana’s congressional delegation against the Democrats’ national gerrymandering machine.
According to the AP, Republican Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray announced Friday that the chamber will not reconvene in December to vote on redistricting, after months of pressure from President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and even Gov. Mike Braun.
Why? Because these so-called Republicans refused to support it.
According to Trump advisor Alex Bruesewitz:
“A MONUMENTAL BETRAYAL IS UNFOLDING IN INDIANA RIGHT NOW.
Spineless RINO “legislators” have sabotaged and buried Republicans’ vital redistricting push. And they are letting Gavin Newsom & left-wing Democrats get closer to stealing the house.
The weak as hell State Senate President Rod Bray doesn’t even have the guts to put redistricting up for a vote!
I was just in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on Monday, rallying HUNDREDS of fired-up patriots who are unanimously demanding redistricting reform. Every genuine Republican across the state stands firmly behind it, yet these treacherous RINOs stonewall and sabotage at every turn.
Our party can no longer afford to harbor these gutless, self-serving traitors who stab us in the back while accomplishing absolutely nothing.
The entire MAGA movement will be mobilizing to Indiana to PRIMARY and OUST every last RINO blocking these essential reforms to RESCUE our nation, this will include the totally clueless and weak State Senate President.
Will get a full list of the RINOs who are obstructing shortly. What a disgrace!”

1. Sen. Rick Niemeyer (317-232-9489) 2. Sen. Greg Goode (317-233-0930) 3. Sen. Brian Buchanan (317-234-9441) 4. Sen. Blake Doriot (317-232-9808) 5. Sen. Dan Dernulc (317-232-9414)
These are the lawmakers who, according to Senate leadership, simply won’t provide the votes to reconvene and approve new congressional maps that would strengthen the GOP heading into a razor-tight 2026 midterm cycle.
Bruesewitz added on X, stating, “Democrats like Gavin Newsom are pulling every lever to gerrymander their states, yet a handful of legislators in Indiana won’t even force a vote. They’d rather cave to Democrats than FIGHT for America and secure the 2026 midterms. Call their offices NOW and demand they vote YES on redistricting!”

While blue states like California, Illinois, Maryland, and New York aggressively redraw their maps to protect Democrats, Indiana Republicans, who hold a supermajority, can’t even muster the political courage to hold a vote.
Democrats gerrymander without shame. Republicans in deep-red states fold.
Call their offices. Demand a YES vote on redistricting. Make your voices heard.
