The Nebraska Democratic Primary: A Test of Party Discipline The Nebraska 2nd Congressional District has long been a bellwether for the state's increasingly polarized politics.
This Omaha area district, often referred to as the "blue dot" in an otherwise solidly Republican Nebraska, has voted Democrat in three out of the last five presidential elections.
The district's importance was underscored by President Trump's 2020 efforts to change the allocation of Electoral College votes from a split to winner take all – a move that would have handed Republicans a crucial advantage.
