In the wake of Virginia, which is now ruled by the far-left Democrats, moving to redraw its congressional map and destroy numerous Republican seats in the United States House of Representatives, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance excoriated Rod Bray, the Indiana Senate leader responsible for his state not handing two seats to Republicans, for betraying the country and letting Democrats gain an advantage.
As background, Republicans across the country have pointed to a slew of Democrat-controlled states that have significant shares of Republicans within them but give those Republicans no representation through House seats as a reason to use GOP power in red states to redraw congressional districts and get rid of Democrat districts.
The urgency of that has been particularly heightened by blue states like California and Virginia acting to get rid of what red districts they can between further gerrymandering, yet some red states like Indiana have refused to do what is necessary and get rid of as many Democratic seats as possible, raising the ire of President Trump and Republicans.
Hammering Bray in the past, for example, President Trump said, “Republicans in the Indiana State Senate, who voted against a Majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, should be ashamed of themselves. Headed by a total loser named Rod Bray, every one of these people should be ‘primaried,’ and I will be there to help! Indiana, which I won big, is the only state in the Union to do this!”
Now, the president has put forward more of an idea of how he will get revenge on the treacherous RINO who has done so much to betray MAGA and Republicans ahead of the midterms, vowing that state and national organizations are preparing to take aim at Bray and utterly demolish him, hopefully in time to still effect redistricting.
Posting about that, the president said, ” I was with David McIntosh of the Club for Growth, and we agreed that we will both work tirelessly together to take out Indiana Senate Majority Leader Rod Bray, a total RINO, who betrayed the Republican Party, the President of the United States, and everyone else who wants to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! We’re after you Bray, like no one has ever come after you before!”
Vice President JD Vance pushed much the same message in a post attacking Bray for not countering Democrats by redistricting, saying, “I’d like to thank @bray_rodric for not even trying to fight back against this extraordinary Democrat abuse of power. Now the votes of Indiana Republicans will matter far less than the votes of Virginia Democrats. We told you it would happen, and you did nothing.”

His post came in response to one announcing that Virginia Democrats had totally destroyed REpublican representation in the state, saying, “It’s official: The Virginia Senate has passed Democrats’ gerrymandering constitutional amendment. 🚨 Now, the General Assembly is moving to impose new congressional maps and force a special election in April—maps that would change Virginia’s delegation to 10 Democrats and just 1 Republican. This is power for power’s sake—plain and simple. Elections should be decided in a fair fight at the ballot box, not through shady political gerrymandering. Virginians deserve better.”
