NE-02 Moves to Tossup
In 2018, the progressive group Justice Democrats endorsed 45 candidates for House and none won, but single-payer healthcare activist Kara Eastman came closest, holding Bacon to a 51 percent to 49 percent victory. Eastman is back for a rematch with the full support of the DCCC and a new consulting team, and Democrats are touting a GQR poll for the campaign showing Eastman ahead by a point.
Bacon, a well-liked former commander of Offutt Air Force Base, may ultimately need to run as a "check" preventing Eastman and progressives going too far. According to polling by both parties, Trump is trailing Joe Biden here after carrying this Omaha district's lone Electoral vote by two points four years ago. Both counties in the district just announced they will automatically send all voters absentee ballot applications.
