Nebraskas überraschend knappes Senatsrennen 2024, kartiert vom Bezirk. Der Unabhängige Dan Osborn hätte die Republikanerin Deb Fischer in diesem blutroten Staat beinahe vom Platz gestellt, weil es keinen demokratischen Kandidaten gab und der Wahlkampf aggressiver war.

A state with a population of 2+ million with less than 50% turnout. Had 63,000 more people turned out for Osborn, he could have won.
Almost 7 points isn’t a close election.
Always interesting how land area is used like propaganda to try to show that Republicans are more popular than Democrats.
This was reminiscent of Kansas’s Senate race in 2014, when an independent became the de facto Democratic candidate and held the Republican incumbent to a 10.6% margin despite it being Kansas in a Republican wave year (though it helped that the incumbent Republican governor was deeply unpopular and only won by 3.7% against a Democrat).
Did Democrats endorse a moderate Republican against a MAGA?
He’s running again against the other Senator next year btw
I wouldn’t call Nebraska blood red, but point taken.
If he runs it back, he probably wins in the current environment. Reminder that this was a red wave year he almost won in.
„Independent“
Deb Fischer is a useless MAGA stooge.
A great example of why progressives need to run independent candidates who can relate and understand middle-america. The democratic brand is toxic. An independent who can run on a progressive economic platform without getting mired in culture war nonsense could win in a number of different „red states“.
This is the epitome of land doesn’t vote
idk if i would describe this as “almost winning” but certainly overperformed
fuck western nebraska.
She won by 6.5 points. How is that close?
