Nebraska’s MAGA-Run GOP Endorsed No Incumbents

The Washington Post reports:

Nebraska holds its primary election tomorrow. While all five Republicans in the state’s delegation — two senators and three House members – are on the ballot, the state party is endorsing none of them.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), one of the 17 House Republicans who represents a district President Biden won in 2020, is one of those incumbents. This year, he doesn’t have the support of his state party, which endorsed his challenger, Dan Frei, who pledged to join the House Freedom Caucus if elected.
