I have an account on X but I don’t follow anyone I know… not even my favorite brother. I’ve never posted a solitary thing. Although I don’t get to see what my classmate’s grandkids are doing like on Facebook, I get a whole lot of information there. I follow all the major media news sources and more.
It’s not often that Indiana comes up, but last night was different.
CNN’s headline, “Trump seeks revenge by ousting Indiana Republicans Who Defied Him,” goes on to say, “Republicans who have served for nearly 20 years, each one of them who lost, voted against the President’s redistricting plan last December.“
Other headlines read, “Bloodbath in Indiana: Trump-Endorsed Candidates Winning in LANDSLIDES.” Republican State Senators who refused to redistrict are losing in Indiana. Only SD 23 is a toss up.
The top trending topic on X now is titled, “Trump-Backed Challengers Topple Indiana Senate Incumbents in Primaries.” Even Google has “Indiana primary election 2026” trending.

Districts 1 and 7 are the two Democratic-held seats
I can understand why more than 1/2 of the 40-member GOP Senate caucus voted against it.
