Endorsement-palooza Fuels Democrat Clown Bus Primary in NE-02

Endorsement-palooza Fuels Democrat Clown Bus Primary in NE-02

September 9, 2025

Nebraska Democrats are engaged in a messy, expensive clown bus of a Democrat primary in Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District and the recent Endorsement-palooza is fueling their journey to the far-left:

  • John Cavanaugh is endorsed by Fmr. U.S. Senators Ben Nelson and Bob Kerrey.
  • Denise Powell is endorsed by Fmr. State Sen. Tony Vargas and Lincoln Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird.
  • Crystal Rhoades is endorsed by Omaha Mayor John Ewing.
  • Kishla Askins has deep ties to the Biden administration and the Nebraska Democrat Party Chair.

The Cook Political Report highlighted "each have baggage that could be exposed in a messy primary."

"The Democrat primary in Nebraska's 2nd congressional district is a clown bus, and Endorsement-palooza just handed everyone a horn. The problem is, it's standing-room only for radicals and common sense didn't even make it on board." - NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
