INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (AP) — As President Donald Trump ramps up pressure on Republican-run states to redraw congressional boundaries, he has dispatched Vice President JD Vance to Indiana and called for a new federal census — moves reflecting his intent to maximize the GOP's partisan advantages in coming elections.

Vice President JD Vance is in the Indiana Statehouse Thursday to meet with Gov. Mike Braun and others to push the state to redraw congressional districts.

The vice president will meet with Indiana Gov. Mike Braun to discuss redistricting the 1st and 7th congressional districts. The visit comes as Texas Democrats have taken refuge in the Chicago suburbs amid a similar effort in Texas.
