The problem with the #NEGov poll is that it didn’t include a reasonably prominent ex-Republican who is running under the new America First Party banner, former state Sen. Brett Lindstrom.

My ranked list of nine races that @cookpolitical.com *still* has as Solid R that should shift one notch left to Likely R:

9] #IN05
8] #NE01
7] #FLSen
6] #TN05
5] #NEGov
4] #MSSen
3] #CO04
2] #AR02
1] #OK05

Dan’s people just text me:

Barely anyone is donating. Dan Osborn trails by 4. And a GOP super PAC is pouring in $1.4M. We need help. Can you give $5? o-4s.com/l/MZX2as #nebraska #neleg #negov

WTF is this? I take it Nebraska Republicans have given up on policy, and coherent thoughts, and are just stringing together all the triggering buzz words they can come up with.

Guess Walz has got Pillen and the NE GOP running scared.

Sleeper, but #NEGov isn’t far behind atp. #FLGov and #SCGov are also increasing interesting to me because of other factors weighing down R’s in both states (the hope Florida scandal in FL and Darline Graham’s very lackluster mistake-laden campaign in SC). Both states also have strong Democratic

#NEGov is easily the governor race I most want a credible pollster to poll. I believe it’s narrowed significantly from when it was last polled earlier this year because of NE being among the hardest hit states by the tariffs and Diesel prices skyrocketing being a heavy farm state (like IA and KS).

More blatant GOP hypocrisy, with Gov. Jim Pillen now caught up in an undocumented worker scandal.

I wondered if #NEGov might pop on the radar, with #NESen also making news and Democratic nominee Lynne Walz having previously won/held a Trump+34 (!) State Senate seat.
