Indiana House Republicans expanded their supermajority in the 2020 election, going from 67 seats to 71. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the caucus will change how it governs.
House Republicans’ 71-seat supermajority is their largest since before the 2016 election. And Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics director Andrew Downs said growing that majority by four seats this past election gives the GOP a little more flexibility.
“At 67, they had to worry about losing one or two members and being out of the supermajority, Downs said. You add a couple more in and you can be, you know, a little less cautious, so to speak.”
