Republicans hold 70 of the 100 seats in the Indiana House of Representatives, and leadership needs just 51 votes to send the measure to the Senate. 

The Senate lacks the votes to convene for a special session on redrawing congressional maps, but the House on Tuesday signaled it does have the votes.

Earlier this week, Gov. Mike Braun called for a special session to begin Nov. 3 to redraw congressional boundaries amid mounting pressure from the White House.

It’s unclear whether enough of the GOP majority Senate will back new maps.

The news comes a week after Vice President JD Vance visited Indianapolis as the White House pressures the solidly Republican state to redraw it’s congressional map. 

Indiana lawmakers have been far more hesitant to redraw the state's congressional boundaries than other Republican-led states.
