Sasse expected to resign from Senate
Politico ^ | 10/6/2022 | By Burgess Everett

Ben Sasse is likely to accept a job at the University of Florida and resign his Senate seat in the near future, according to two people familiar with the Nebraska Republican’s plans.

The Nebraska governor would then appoint a replacement for Sasse under state law. The second-term Sasse made a name for himself as a consistent Trump critic in Congress as well as a reliable conservative vote.

He’s fleeing the state.

Good.

Was he going to lose his seat anyway?
It seems the only reason to jump ship.

Now let’s hope the Governor has the good sense to appoint someone better.

He was just reelected. He probably wants to take cheap shots at conservatives from a perch in the private sector and not face the ballot box. Fake News will happily give him a platform.

Did DeSantis have no sway to get someone better for the state’s university system?

Didn’t Nebraska punish us enough in that 1995 Fiesta Bowl?

“Ben Sasse is likely to accept a job at the University of Florida”

Alas, I have finally found a reason to take pity on the Gators. Sasse is a complete ass.

He’s currently in his last year due to term limits.

New governor will be chosen in November.

It will be interesting to see when Sasse takes his leave.
