Nebraska Democrats quietly ditched their Senate race plans after Cindy Burbank’s exit, paving the way for independent Dan Osborn to challenge Republican Senator Ricketts — a bold move backed by nearly unanimous party support despite a last-minute push to nominate Kishla Askins. The drama deepens with a lawsuit from Burbank’s primary opponent William Forbes, who claims the party must fill the vacancy — but the chairwoman insists strategic inaction is key to diversifying Congress and flipping the seat. Suspicion swirls around Burbank, accused of being a “plant,” though all deny it — and she pulled out right after Osborn’s petition was validated. Meanwhile, Mike Marvin has already dropped out and endorsed Osborn, leaving the field looking like a two-person showdown — even as lawsuits pile up and the Supreme Court could soon decide whether two new state parties will emerge. Election Day is November 3rd — and this race is far from over.
