Nebraska is a solid RED state that Trump won in 2016, 2020 and 2024. The Senate seat is considered PURPLE, however, as an Independent has a serious chance of taking this seat from the Republican (The Democrat has dropped out of the race). House Districts 1 and 2 are solidly RED, but NE-2 is PURPLE with a chance of a Democratic win.
Senate Race
This is a Purple Senate race. The incumbent Republican Pete Ricketts has a good chance of being replaced by Independent Dan Osborn in this election. In this race, every vote for Osborn matters! The whole country is counting on Nebraska to help end the MAGA madness and put the brakes on Trump. That means ending Republican control of the Senate.
VOTE for Dan Osborn, Independent, for US Senate!
If you are uncomfortable voting for Osborn for any reason or have an overriding desire to Legalize Marijuana Now (the third candidate’s party), please consider swapping your vote with someone in a safe red or blue state where their vote for a third party candidate can make more of a difference.
