Polls in the 2nd District showed Biden with a lead for most of the race, with Trump trailing among nonpartisans and shedding some centrist Republicans over his handling of the federal coronavirus response.
Trump’s campaign showered the district with attention, sending the president’s son Donald Trump Jr. three times; Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, once; and second lady Karen Pence once.
Biden didn’t visit Omaha, but his wife, Jill Biden, and Doug Emhoff, the husband of his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, visited the Omaha area. Emhoff came back a second time.
Biden’s 2nd District win, like that of his former boss in 2008, will likely revive GOP efforts to award all five of Nebraska’s electoral votes to the statewide winner, Landow said.
“They vowed to change it last time around and never got the job done,” he said.
Counting will continue overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning, and any early voting ballots returned on Election Day will not be counted until Friday in Douglas County.
Provisional ballots will be counted next week.
