This means that it’s possible for the Harris to win the congressional district including Omaha, and thereby obtain one electoral vote. If this happens, and she wins the Blue Wall states, she gets to 270 electoral votes and wins the election.

McDonnell is the former Democratic Senator (labor guy, socially conservative) who switched from D to R earlier this year.
He represents a 60% Biden/48% minority district in the legislature, and wants to run for Mayor in blue Omaha. There is zero political upside for him to support this.
Without his vote, the Republicans can’t pass it.
Does not compute.
Nebraska
If this entire election banks on one guy holding strong, I don’t feel good.
Not necessarily. Nebraska’s single split electoral vote also only determines winner or tie in some election maps. If WI + MI +PA go blue and at least one of NV, AZ, GA or NC it would push it above that
There are some other hold outs as well in the Nebraska legislature as well
Yeah, but if it goes exactly as the polls show now, this one guy could determine the election. If the polls look the exact same on November 1st, this one person could determine the election.
Sounds a bit like Mayor Adams in NYC. He’s still D but everything he does reeks of Republican BS
