2026 is the year of the mission-critical midterms of the second Trump Administration, and key to winning the midterms is properly redistricting in red states and getting as many safe House seats in the hands of Republicans as possible. As such, it was both a major blow to the party and huge betrayal of Trump and MAGA when Indiana Senators refused to redistrict and hand two more seats to Republicans.
As such, President Trump has been strident in his demands both for the RINOs to be taken to task and for the state to reject them and redistrict. As part of that, he spent much of last November and December calling for revenge against the chief RINO responsible: Indiana State Senator Rod Bray, vowing to hold the traitor accountable for his huge betrayal of MAGA.
Some of his best posts calling out the RINO and vowing revenge came in November, shortly after the state senator betrayed him openly, and in which he trotted out the threats of primaries in epic fashion. The same RINOs betrayed him again in December.
In one such post on November 17, for example, the president vowed to hold the RINOs accountable with primaries, saying, “Lines are forming to run against RINO Indiana Senator Rod Bray, and those few other Senators who support him, in the upcoming Primaries. Every one of them will lose, in Record Numbers. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAGA!”
In another post on the same day, the president skewered Bray as a “RINO” and noted that he was “weak” and unwilling to fight the Democrats as they must be fought. He began, “In the entire United States of America, Republican or Democrat, only Indiana “Republican” State Senator Rod Bray, a Complete and Total RINO, is opposed to redistricting for purposes of gaining additional Seats in Congress.”
He added, “The Democrats have proven to be dishonest and untrustworthy in anything having to do with Elections or Election Integrity. Republicans must be TOUGH and SMART if we are going to WIN the Midterms. The Rod Brays of Politics are WEAK and PATHETIC. I wish he cared about saving our Country as much as Democrats care about destroying it. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
That wasn’t all. The next day, Trump indicated that he would go after the governor of Indiana as well if the situation wasn’t fixed, and commented yet further on how primaries would be used to hold Bray and other treasonous supposed Republicans accountable for their betrayal of the nation.

Beginning that post, the president commented on the governor, sayin,g I am working with Governor Mike Braun and other Indiana Republicans, on picking up two Republican Congressional seats. The Governor, a good man, must produce on this, or he will be the only Governor, Republican or Democrat, who didn’t. I won Indiana in a landslide, the most votes ever gotten in the State – Such an HONOR!”
Then, hammering Indiana state Senator Bray with a vengeance, the president wrote, “A RINO State Senator, Rodric Bray, who doesn’t care about keeping the Majority in the House in D.C., is the primary problem. Soon, he will have a Primary Problem, as will any other politician who supports him in this stupidity. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT”
