Several RINO Indiana State Senators on Tuesday evening lost their primary elections.
Trump-endorsed candidates swept Indiana on Tuesday night.
In December, President Trump unleashed on the spineless Indiana Republicans who just torpedoed a slam-dunk redistricting bill that would have handed the GOP a crushing 9-0 congressional stranglehold on the Hoosier State.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Indiana State Senate stunningly killed a proposed congressional redistricting map that would have locked in a 9 Republican – 0 Democrat congressional delegation, even though Republicans hold 40 of the chamber’s 50 seats.
The bill failed after more than half of Senate Republicans voted AGAINST it, effectively doing the Democrats’ work for them.
21 REPUBLICANS WHO VOTED NO:
Eric Bassler
Vaneta Becker
Mike Bohacek
Rodric Bray
Brian Buchanan
James Buck
Ed Charbonneau
Mike Crider
Spencer Deery
Dan Dernulc
Blake Doriot
Susan Glick
Greg Goode
Travis Holdman
Jean Leising
Ryan Mishler
Rick Niemeyer
Linda Rogers
Mark Spencer
Kyle Walker
Greg Walker
The move comes as Democrats aggressively gerrymander congressional maps in blue states to cancel out Republican votes nationwide, a strategy Indiana GOP leadership chose not to counter.
In December, President Trump vowed to primary the Indiana RINOs who defied him.

President Trump went off on the RINOs again on Tuesday ahead of the primary elections:
“Good luck to those Great Indiana Senate Candidates who are running against people who couldn’t care less about our Country, or about keeping the Majority in Congress. There are eight Great Patriots running against long seated RINOS — Let’s see how those RINOS do tonight!” Trump said.

Trump-endorsed candidates swept Indiana! At least five of the RINOs were unseated on Tuesday night.
NBC News reported:
State Sen. Travis Holdman, who has served in the Senate since 2008 and is the third-most powerful Republican in the chamber, was defeated by real estate agent Blake Fiechter.
80-year-old state Sen. Jim Buck was unseated by Tipton County Commission member Tracey Powell after serving in the Legislature since 1994.
Buck, who was facing his first primary since joining the state Senate in 2008, had the support of Mike Pence, the former vice president and Indiana governor.
State Sen. Greg Walker was set to retire last year after 20 years in the chamber, but reversed course amid the redistricting fight, where he notably broke down in tears speaking about his fear for the future of the party if the Legislature caved to Trump’s demands.
He lost Tuesday to state Rep. Michelle Davis, who launched her campaign before Walker decided to run again, but ended up staying in the primary race and won Trump’s endorsement.
Elsewhere, state Sen. Linda Rogers, who owns and manages a golf course and a home building company, lost her primary to Dr. Brian Schmutzler, an anesthesiologist.
And state Sen. Dan Dernulc, who represents a district in the northern part of the state near Chicago, was defeated by Trevor De Vries, an insurance broker.
But one state senator who drew Trump’s ire, Greg Goode, won his primary Tuesday. Goode bested Vigo County Council member Brenda Wilson, who was backed by Trump, and Alexandra Wilson, a network engineer.
