Trump Team Threatens Indiana Lawmakers with Primaries

“Donald Trump’s political operation is considering primarying Indiana lawmakers who don’t embrace his mid-decade redistricting plans,” Politico reports.

Said one person familiar: “They have a mountain of cash and even more motivation to win the redistricting wars Democrats started long ago.”

“The electoral threats are an escalation of a pressure campaign as Trump and his allies try to extract more GOP seats in Congress across the country. Indiana has been a top target of those efforts, but resistance among some rank-and-file officials has grown as a number of state lawmakers have publicly opposed those efforts in recent days.”
