By Nolan D. McCaskill and Richard Cowan WASHINGTON, Dec 11 (Reuters) - The Republican-controlled U.S. Congress is poised to allow tax credits to lapse for 24 million Americans, as a December 31 deadline approaches with no sign of a healthcare compromise after the Senate failed to advance dueling proposals on Thursday.

The Indiana Senate voted Thursday to reject a Trump-backed congressional redistricting map that would have advantaged Republicans—a setback for the president, who has pressured states to redraw their lines.

State Senator Mike Gaskill's remark came just before a vote failed to approve a Trump-backed redistricting plan for Indiana.

Indiana state police said "numerous" state lawmakers had faced bomb threats and been the subject of swatting hoaxes amid the push for redistricting.

The Republican-controlled U.S. Congress on Dec. 11, 2025, failed to pass two competing Affordable Care Act measures, which leaves 24 million Americans facing potentially higher premiums on Jan. 1. Indiana's U.

The Indiana Senate on Thursday voted down a plan to redraw the state’s congressional districts to produce two more GOP-friendly seats, rejecting President Donald Trump’s months-long campaign to pressure the Republican supermajority in the deep-red state to bend to his will.

Indiana state senators handed President Donald Trump a massive loss on Thursday by failing to pass a mid-decade redistricting bill that would redraw the state’s congressional lines to give Republicans the advantage in all nine congressional districts.

The Republican-dominated Indiana Senate spurned months of demands from President Donald Trump as it voted 31-19 on Thursday to reject a redrawing of the state’s congressional maps.

Majority Leader John Thune announced that the Senate will vote on a Republican-led measure alongside a Democratic bill to extend expiring tax credits.
