The state’s previous governor, Republican Pete Ricketts, has said he would seek the appointment.

Ricketts is Ameritrade money and part owner of the Cubs.

He would have to move to Nebraska. There is no house suitable for Trump in Nebraska. Even Buffett's house is too small for Donald's taste.

Ricketts endorsed Trump in ‘16 and ‘20, according to Ballotopedia, so that’s an improvement over Sasse.

Nebraskan Dan Whitney is the best option for that clown show.

Is there a scandal hiding behind this?

Very rare for a Senator to just resign, especially one as young as he is.

Good riddance either way.

Looks like he’s headed to UF? Probably more conservative than most options, weak as he often is.

He’s about as conservative as UF can get.

Politicians running universities, news rooms, or social media companies is a very, very, bad idea.

Wonder if DeSantis is somehow involved. He’s shaking the school systems up a lot right now, dragging them kicking and screaming back at least to the center some.
