Dan Osborn is running for U.S. Senate as an Independent in Nebraska against incumbent Republican Deb Fischer. Osborn joins Ana Cabrera and José Díaz-Balart to share more about his campaign and his policy views.
As voters in Nebraska head to the polls, Dan Osborn, an upstart independent challenger to Republican Sen. Deb Fischer, has a chance to pull off the most shocking upset of the 2024 campaign. According to a recent New York Times poll, he is a mere 2 points behind Fischer, and other surveys show him within striking distance. If he wins, he could help keep the Senate out of Republican control. Yet national Democrats want nothing to do with Osborn — and that’s just fine with him.
However, like Vice President Kamala Harris, he has criticized his Republican rival for failing to support the immigration deal negotiated by Republican Sen. James Lankford. On abortion, he says he opposes the procedure but believes it should be legal and has called for codifying Roe v. Wade in federal law.
