Trump won 60/40 and that was with historic highs for Dems in Omaha and Lincoln. Ricketts was adamantly opposed to Trump's pick, Herbster, and Herbster had pretty serious sexual misconduct allegations brought against him by multiple state senators and aides in the weeks leading up to the vote, but this is very much Trump country in that it's still very easy to see t-shirts, yard signs and more in the most blue portions of Omaha let alone the state as a whole but even a Trump appearance for Herbster just before the vote and Pillen was still able to pull out a 4 point victory that was never in serious doubt.


It sucked because Pillen promises to just be a Ricketts re-run which is still a really bad look for the state, but there was a collective sigh of relief in our little blue dot that Trump didn't get his pick here.
