Republican Indiana Senate leader who defied Trump on redistricting leaving post

The Republican leader of the Indiana Senate is giving up his position after six GOP incumbents who opposed President Donald Trump on his congressional redistricting push in the state lost their primaries. Indiana Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray drew the ire of Trump in December when he voted against the redistricting plan after saying for weeks that it didn’t have enough support to pass. Bray announced Friday that he would not seek reelection to the post when Senate Republicans choose their leaders in November. His current Senate term runs through 2028 and he will remain in office, albeit not in a leadership position.
