\nMessage: Jean Leising spoke at a breakfast this fall at her 8th grade grandson\u2019s school. Hours later, when she was set to give him a ride home from basketball practice, he bashfully told her that his entire team had received text messages about her that day \u2014 \u201cand they were all bad.\u201d

\nRecounting the moment to CNN shortly after she joined 20 other Republican state senators in rejecting President Donald Trump\u2019s redistricting push, Leising said she laughed the moment off with her grandson \u2014 but that it ultimately led to her opposing the president. <\/p>\n
\u201cBoy, when I got home that night, that\u2019s when I decided,\u201d said Leising, a 76-year-old grandmother of eight, first elected to the Senate in 1988. \u201cI was angry. So the next day, I said, \u2018I\u2019ve got to talk about this.\u2019 Because this is over the top. This shouldn\u2019t be the way it was.\u201d

\u201cBut that was the beginning,\u201d she added. \u201cIt only got worse from there.\u201d <\/p>\n
It was clear on Thursday that a pressure campaign waged by the White House and its allies had backfired. A state that Trump won by nearly 20 points in 2024 gave him a massive political black eye, rejecting a push to create two more GOP-friendly US House seats that could have helped Republicans retain the House majority in next year\u2019s midterms. <\/p>\n
Several Republican senators noted on Thursday that constituents opposed a mid-decade redrawing of US House maps and that they questioned the wisdom or the precedent of joining the national redistricting battle. But a number of Republicans, including people who voted for the president three elections in a row, also gave deeply personal reasons over the last several weeks.

\nSen. Mike Bohacek has a daughter with Down syndrome. He was offended by Trump\u2019s use of a slur for people with disabilities, in a Truth Social post deriding Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and said that Trump\u2019s \u201cchoices of words have consequences.\u201d <\/p>\n
Sen. Greg Walker, who represents former Vice President Mike Pence\u2019s hometown of Columbus, said he was among the senators targeted by swatting attempts in the weeks leading up to Thursday\u2019s vote. While law enforcement has not publicly linked the swatting or other threats to a political motive, Walker said he felt voting yes would reward wrongdoing and set a dangerous precedent. <\/p>\n
Sen. Greg Goode, whose town hall in Terre Haute this fall revealed massive public opposition to mid-decade redistricting, said the new maps would splinter communities with similar interests. He also criticized \u201cover-the-top pressure from inside the Statehouse and outside,\u201d as well as \u201cthreats of violence, acts of violence.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cWhether we realize it or not, whether we accept it or not, the forces that define this vitriolic political affairs in places outside of Indiana have been gradually and now very blatantly infiltrated the politi
