House Majority Leader Steve Scalise Campaigns for Brinker Harding in Nebraska's Competitive 2nd District
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise has actively campaigned for Brinker Harding in Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District, emphasizing the national importance of the race. Scalise described the contest as one of the most crucial in the country. Harding, an Omaha City Councilmember, is running against Democratic activist Denise Powell for the open seat previously held by retiring Rep. Don Bacon. The district is notable for having supported Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris in the last election while simultaneously sending a Republican to Congress. Harding has also received endorsements from President Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, indicating significant Republican party support. Conversely, Powell has campaigned with prominent Democratic figures like former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Rahm Emanuel, highlighting the district's swing voter potential.
