Nebraska, a state known for its solid Republican voting record, is set to be closely watched in the upcoming presidential election. Despite typically leaning towards the GOP, this year, one of its Electoral College votes could potentially go to Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. This potential shift is due to Nebraska’s unique way of allocating Electoral College votes, with one vote going to the winner in each of the state’s three congressional districts.
The state’s 2nd Congressional District, which includes Omaha, has a history of swinging between Democratic and Republican candidates, making it a key area to watch in the upcoming election. Moreover, Nebraska is also playing a crucial role in the fight for Senate control, with both of the state’s seats up for election for the first time since 1954.
The upcoming election in Nebraska will also feature key races and candidates, including the presidential contest between Harris and former President Donald Trump, as well as a heated Senate race between Republican Sen. Deb Fischer and independent challenger Dan Osborn. With voter registration numbers and turnout on the rise, Nebraska’s Election Day on November 5th is sure to be a pivotal moment in the 2024 election cycle.
