Sasse won reelection in 2020, and his term was not set to expire until 2026. But Sasse has been at odds with Trump and his own party for years. After the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, Sasse was one of seven Republican senators who voted to convict Trump for his role in inciting the deadly riot.
Senate Republican leadership has been alerted of the news, a leadership aide told NBC News.
According to Fox News, Sasse is headed to the University of Florida for a lucrative gig.

I do t have the answer to that question, but I bet a Nebraska Freeper will.
Good!
Sasse is an ASS....GOOD RIDDANCE!!
Nebraska is a safe seat.
Because FSU won the coin toss?
Sorry, dude. I still have to live with the honorary doctorate given to Manbearpig.
Florida says he’ll get the U job “by the end of the year”.
Sasse might wait to resign until after the election or after new governor is sworn in.
Term-limited Gov. Ricketts will be out of a job, and might arrange to essentially appoint himself.

Not exactly. Appointee will serve until next general election, which would be 2024, and then would have to run again in ‘26 (if he was a ‘24 winner).
Nebraska is like most states in that regard.
“Problem is, the Nebraska Governor is yet another Trump hater. So, it won’t be anyone we would care to have there.”
I understand that is probably true but it’s like when I trap and relocate a varmint. I know another will be along to take its place sooner or later, probably sooner.
I’m still glad I got the varmint.
I guess his safest bet was to get out of Nebraska.
Good riddance.
Sasse’s replacement will be appointed by the Governor and will serve out the term until 2026.
Thanks, I figured that.
He voted to impeach Trump.
Good!
He is best suited to be a college president, which he was before inexplicably running for Senate.
According to the Green Papers election site, the appointment lasts until a-special election in 24, the winner of which serves out until 2026 when another election is held for a full six year term. This process varies state to state.
Excellent news! But hate to see him in Florida.
Trump endorsed Charles Herbster, and Ricketts endorsed Jim Pillen who won the primary.
Now he did issue a statement saying that both Senators, Sasse, & Fischer did the right thing by not finding Trump guilty.
Now his mother:
