Our first 5 links for the 2026 mid-term cycle are in (Omaha) the Blue Dot.
The Cook Political Report calls the race in the 2nd District a lean left, 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 6 Democrats that will be running in the primary next May. The DU is neutral in all races between Democrats. That said, here are the five DU ActBlue links we have so far for the NE-2 primary Blue Dot race.

In 2008 it went for Obama. In 2024 it went for Harris. The Rs keep trying to eliminate it by changing the law

There will be at least 6 different Dems running in the primary. The cut-off for registration isn't until March.
