“If Democrats don’t win Nebraska’s 2nd District next year, it’s almost impossible to see them taking control of the House.”

The DU has raised OVER $3.5 MILLION for Democrat candidates over the years!

Our first 4 links for the 2026 mid-term cycle are in (Omaha) the Blue Dot.

Both Cook Political Report and Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball, two of the leading election forecast publications, have upgraded their ratings for Nebraska’s 2nd District from toss-up to leans Democratic. Making it a likely candidate for big spending as the GOP attempts to maintain or bolster its small majority, and Democrats try to take back control.

There will be at least 5 Democrats that will be running in the primary next May. The DU is neutral in all races between Democrats. That said, here are the four DU ActBlue links we have so far for the NE-2 primary Blue Dot race.
