Democrats are playing defense in dozens of battleground districts as they try to limit House losses on Tuesday, but they haven’t given up on a longstanding offensive goal in deep-red Nebraska

Democrats could see an opening due to the wild card of redistricting, which has thrown Bacon into some unfamiliar territory and left Omaha’s Douglas County intact, despite Republican efforts to split it and create a safe GOP seat. But the district’s overall makeup remains virtually unchanged — it went to Biden by more than 6 points in 2020, about the same margin as the seat’s new boundary lines.
“I think it is a one-point race. … And it does swing every day, back and forth. Bacon-Vargas, Bacon-Vargas,” said Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb.Peter Meijer, who supported Trump-backed challenges to the 2020 election — where territory has more significantly shifted after redistricting. Nebraska Republicans are more openly confident of a victory. Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts, who appeared with Bacon at a campaign stop for Rep. on Wednesday in the Omaha suburb of Papillion, said the race is competitive but the district “leans Don Bacon’s way.”
Then there’s former President Donald Trump, who slammed Bacon during a rally in the state earlier this year. He then tossed a half-hearted nod to Bacon’s primary opponent: “Good luck, Steve, whoever the hell you are.”
