An Indiana Senate committee advanced a bill Monday night that would redraw Indiana's congressional districts to favor their party.

The Indiana Senate gathered Monday to consider the new congressional map passed by the House last week. The map would flip the state's two Democratic congressional seats for Republicans, part of the Trump administration's effort to give Republicans an edge heading into next year's midterm election.

President Donald Trump put pressure on the Indiana Senate to pass the newly approved House congressional map.
