President Trump continues to end the political careers of RINOs who allow their Trump Derangement Syndrome to guide their decisions rather than the voters who elected them. As of Tuesday at 11:00 p.m. ET, five out of the six Indiana state Senate races, where President Donald Trump supported a primary challenger against the incumbent, had been decided. The outcomes? Four senators who opposed Trump’s call to approve new district maps and voted against redistricting have been ousted.
It’s a wipeout so far in Indiana.

Senate District 41 experienced significant changes as Trump-backed challenger Michelle Davis decisively defeated incumbent Greg Walker. A similar situation unfolded in Senate District 19, where Trump-supported challenger Blake Fietchter soundly triumphed over incumbent Travis Holdman.

In November 2025, President Trump urged Indiana Republicans to redistrict. However, State Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray and other Republican leaders opposed this initiative and successfully voted down the proposed maps that would have benefited the GOP:
Despite repeated calls from President Trump to pass a mid-decade redistricting map that would likely net the Republican Party seats in next year’s midterm elections, Indiana Republicans voted Thursday afternoon to reject the map favored by the White House. The final vote in the Indiana state senate was 19 in favor, 31 against the measure; Republicans currently hold a 40-10 supermajority in the chamber.
Scott Presler, founder and president of Early Vote Action, in collaboration with TPUSA Action, conducted a ground campaign for these races, focusing on mobilizing voters to support Republican challengers and ensure the defeat of incumbents.
Already 6 targeted Indiana State Senate races have been called in favor of grassroots candidates over the establishment Rs who betrayed the base on redistricting. Waiting on 2 more but it’s clear the Trump Team delivered @salerGT and @JamesBlairUSA

Overall, it worked to Trump’s advantage. Those who predicted this would be a disaster and proof of Trump’s diminishing influence are now reconsidering their views.
While the night is still young, I want to take the opportunity to clarify one matter regarding the President's political team and our support for Indiana redistricting:
No, we were not bluffing.

This sounds cliche, but it’s not: Republicans have an opportunity here to become the political majority for generations. Between redistricting, the end of race-based voting districts, and the 2030 census, Republican majorities await – but only for MAGA Republicans brave enough to take that power and run with it.
Through Obama and Biden, we’ve seen what the Democrat Party has become: Zero borders, DEI, higher taxes, more regulation, inflation, windmills/solar panels, and America last. We literally cannot ever afford to lose another election cycle to this party of terrorists.
