Money starts pouring into Nebraska midterm congressional races
OMAHA — Two political matchups in Nebraska will likely get national attention as both could help determine which party controls what parts of Congress after the 2026 midterm elections.
One is the U.S. House race in Nebraska’s Omaha-based 2nd Congressional District. The seat is typically a target of both national parties, as one of the rare remaining swing districts that has stayed politically split.
The seat may be more of a target now, since U.S. Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., decided not to seek reelection. Several Democrats jumped into the race, creating a politically diverse and competitive primary race.
A first-time federal candidate is leading the Democratic pack in terms of fundraising as more politically established candidates are lagging behind.
