In the upcoming Senate election in Nebraska on November 5, 2024, Republican incumbent Senator Deb Fischer will be running for re-election. Fischer, who was first elected in 2012, is a graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and has a background in ranching and public service. Her challenger is independent Dan Osborn, a labor leader.
Currently, the United States Senate is composed of 51 Democrats and 49 Republicans. In Nebraska, non-Hispanic Whites make up 79% of the population, followed by Hispanics at 12%, Blacks at 5%, Asians at 3%, and Native Americans at 1%.
Looking at historical results, Nebraska has consistently leaned towards the Republican Party in recent elections. In 2020, Donald Trump won the presidential election in the state by a margin of 19.2%, and in the 2018 Senate race, Deb Fischer secured victory with a margin of 19.1%. Given this historical trend, the Senate election in Nebraska is considered not competitive, with Fischer likely to maintain her seat.
