Vice President Vance Pushes Redistricting
August 08, 2025
Vice President J.D. Vance meets with Governor Braun and GOP legislators to push for midterm redistricting.

Host Brandon Smith is joined by Democrat Ann DeLaney, Republican Whitley Yates, Ebony Chappel of Free Press Indiana, and Niki Kelly of the Indiana Capital Chronicle to debate and discuss some of this week’s top stories.
