The Indiana Senate on Thursday voted down a plan to redraw the state’s congressional districts to hand Republicans two more seats, dealing President Donald Trump a rare rebuke from his own party in the face of the president’s months-long campaign to pressure the GOP supermajority in the deep-red state to bend to his will.
