Could have been NeverTrumper Republicans. I’m not saying all of them were, but it’s possible some of them were. Two more factors: some people think their own representative is fine and the rest of the government is rotten, and some people only vote for the big race. You’d have to compare this district to others that are similar.
Stole a congressional seat and one electoral vote.
Second district candidate Kara Eastman was way too radical and socialistic compared to retired Air Force brigadier general Don Bacon. Bacon even got the endorsement of Democrat Brad Ashford, whom Bacon unseated in the previous election.
Douglas County went reliably for Eastman, but the part of Sarpy County that’s in the 2nd District ensured a Bacon win. That has nearly always been the case. Not sure how that transmutated to the election for POTUS.
Douglas and Sarpy Counties run clean elections, as does the rest of Nebraska.
