Independent Dan Osborn announced another bid to represent Nebraska in the Senate on Tuesday, challenging GOP Sen. Pete Ricketts after his loss in an unexpectedly competitive race against a Republican incumbent last year.

Osborn said he would challenge Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-Nebraska) as an independent in a race that has already gotten President Donald Trump’s attention.

Osborn lost an unexpectedly close race to Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE) in 2024 after cultivating a pro-union, pro-border security, and pro-working class platform.

Independent Dan Osborn announced another run for Senate in Nebraska on Tuesday. Earlier this year, Osborn formed an exploratory committee to run against sitting Sen. Pete Ricketts. Osborn lost against Republican Deb Fischer in the November election with 46% of the vote.

Independent populist Dan Osborn, whose insurgent Senate campaign seriously threatened one of Nebraska’s Republicans from securing a third term last year, is now taking on GOP Sen. Pete Ricketts — one of the wealthiest members of Congress.

Brett Lindstrom, a former state lawmaker and financial adviser, is running to represent Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District and succeed Rep. Don Bacon.

Bacon's retirement, with a formal announcement expected as soon as next week, will give Democrats a fresh opportunity to pick up a seat in a district won by Biden and Harris.
