Indiana’s Republican-controlled Senate rejected a proposed congressional map on Thursday, delivering a rare rebuke to President Donald Trump and derailing a plan that could have expanded GOP representation in Washington ahead of next year’s midterm elections.

The bill, which had passed the state House last week, failed in the Senate by a vote of 31–19 after 21 Republicans joined all 10 Democrats to oppose the measure.

The defeat in Indiana marks one of the most striking setbacks yet in Trump’s nationwide effort to pressure GOP-led legislatures to redraw political maps in the party’s favor.

Had the measure passed, Republicans stood …
