Why was Trump in Omaha yesterday? Nebraska should be a lock.
There’s a section of Nebraska he wants...and it borders Iowa.
Nebraska awards 3 of its 5 electors by congressional district results, and District 2, which contains Omaha, barely went for Trump in 2016. So Trump is trying to shore up that particular vote.
Because Omaha TV market gets western Iowa in
Nothing is ever a lock until the fat lady sings.
Trump said at a rally the other day that he was told to act like he was 1 point down.
That’s what he is doing. He’s not taking it for granted. He is fighting. And he will fight right up until the election.
The state is a lock but 2nd Congressional District (Omaha/Lincoln) is not a 100% lock so he was there for to shore up district for him and house.
There is one electoral vote in Omaha district that goes DEM sometimes. So just shorting up that extra electoral vote
CD 2 in NE is like CD 2 in ME. The other 4 EVs are good.
In addition to the Omaha market bleeding into Iowa, he also wants to shore up Don Bacon.
Don’t assume that re: Nebraska.
Trump wasn’t out there on a pleasure ride.
Why is Biden in PA? He’s up double digits, right?
I had heard some areas are trending Biden, esp. the larger cities.
NE-2
I listened to Rudh yesterday and he seemed disconsolate about the polls. Saying he didn’t know what was gonna happen but that he wondered where his America had gone. It was discouraging to listen.
“Why was Trump in Omaha yesterday? Nebraska should be a lock.”
Nebraska is one of those states that splits some of its electoral votes by district. Omaha’s 1 EV is granted independent of the rest of the state. The whole state is deep red, but Omaha is purple, so it’s worth it for Trump to go there and try to shore it up.
