Out of 40 Republicans, 21 joined all 10 Democrats in the state's 50-seat upper chamber in rejecting the measure on Thursday.

A day after the Indiana Senate rejected President Donald Trump’s contentious mid-decade redistricting proposal, warnings of political and financial retaliation escalated — including public threats that the Hoosier State could lose federal funding as punishment for GOP senators’ refusal to approve the new congressional map.

The president was actively urging GOP lawmakers to support the bill. Republican State Senator Greg Goode got at least two calls from the president on redistricting, including one on Monday, he told the Indiana Capital Chronicle. Goode spoke with other White House officials Wednesday, but remained undecided ahead of the vote.
