Trump flexes power in Indiana : Republican party members ousted for redistricting row

Al Jazeera Al Jazeera — 1min

Donald Trump claimed victory in Indiana after targeting seven Republican state senators who resisted his push to redraw federal congressional districts that could have given Republicans two extra US House seats; five lost in contests with fewer than 15,000 voters.

He and allies recruited challengers, brought them to Washington and spent millions on TV ads, highlighting his readiness to penalise dissent.

Al Jazeera’s Patty Culhane reports from Washington.
