OMAHA — U.S. Rep. Don Bacon has survived another close race in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, declaring victory Wednesday morning after pulling away from State Sen. Tony Vargas overnight to secure a fifth term.

Vote tallies will keep climbing. On Friday, the Douglas County Election Commission will count the early votes received on Election Day, resolution ballots and provisional ballots that need to be verified. That combined number is expected to reach about 15,000.

At last count Wednesday, Bacon led Vargas 51%-49%, slightly closer than their first contest in 2022. In raw votes, Bacon led by more than 8,300 votes as of 8:45 a.m.

All three county election commissioners in the 2nd Congressional District — in Douglas, Saunders and parts of Sarpy Counties — have at least some votes yet to count, but none has more than Douglas County, home to Omaha and the largest share of the district’s Democrats.

Tony got outspent by millions of dollars in attack ads by outside conservative PAC's. They were full of lies...PERIOD!

Kamala did win the Blue Dot's single Electoral College vote BTW.
