Trump Declares Indifference to Americans’ Finances
Osborn, an Omaha union leader who gained prominence during the 2021 Kellogg’s strike, is challenging Ricketts in a close race for the Nebraska seat. Running as an independent, Osborn has pledged to remain unaffiliated with either major party, a strategy that resonates with Great Plains voters wary of the national Democratic brand’s perceived coastal elite image. The race’s outcome could be complicated by the Democratic primary, where a win by Forbes might split the vote and benefit Ricketts, or a win by Burbank would require Democrats to actively support Osborn.
