Nebraska Democrats in tight primary race for state's 'blue dot' US House seat
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Two Democrats were locked in a tight congressional primary late Tuesday in Nebraska, where the fate of the state's “blue dot” — a small, but significant factor in presidential politics — took center stage in the race.
State Sen. John Cavanaugh and political activist Denise Powell were separated by a razor-thin margin with vote counting ongoing in the state's high-profile 2nd District. The winner will face Republican Brinkner Harding, who ran unopposed in the GOP primary. The Omaha City Council member is endorsed by President Donald Trump.
