Nebraska is a red state with an incumbent Republican, Deb Fischer, running for re-election. Her main opponent, Dan Osborn, is an independent who is testing whether his pro-union, working-class message resonates at a time when the labor movement is resurgent.

U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts on Tuesday finished the job he started during his first run for office in 2006, winning election to the U.S. Senate.

Nebraska is the only state with both its Senate seats up for election this year. There’s a special election to fill the Senate seat vacated by Ben Sasse (R), who resigned from office in January 2023 to become president of the University of Florida.
