re: #213 dangerman

from a tipping point state perspective, nebraska is third from the most reliably solid red of all states, after wyoming and idaho. this is basically a pointless exercise. (sorry)

while it might be an indicator of the nature of the race as a whole, it’s not a requirement for biden and trump’s got way bigger problems holding on to texas, ohio and montana (barely R) and fighting to win FL, NC, GA, IA, AZ (barely D) before it even gets close to mattering.

if he were to win all those states, we’d have a way more fundamental problem

Nebraska is reliably red, but NE-2 is a swing district and the state divides its electoral votes. That’s why we get that punditry every four years.

Rep. Don Bacon was elected in 2016 with Donald Trump. Prior to that, the district was represented by a Democrat. Barack Obama took the district in 2008.

Currently polling shows NE-2 as a Democratic lean (earlier in the race it was a toss-up).
