Five of seven Indiana Republican state senators who voted against President Trump's redistricting plan in December 2025 were ousted in the May 2026 primary by Trump-backed challengers, all winning by double-digit margins fueled by $13.5 million in outside spending — a 4,736% increase over the previous cycle. The results establish a potent precedent for presidential enforcement of party loyalty at the state level, though one incumbent's survival and a razor-thin margin in another race suggest the mechanism is not absolute.
