A Republican effort to lock down all of Nebraska’s electoral votes for former President Donald Trump appears doomed because one state lawmaker won't give backers his crucial support.
A Republican effort to lock down all of Nebraska's electoral votes for former President Donald Trump appeared doomed Monday when a state lawmaker denied backers his crucial support for the move. GOP Sen. Mike McDonnell of Omaha said in a statement that he opposes awarding Nebraska's five electoral votes on a winner-take-all basis, like 48 other states do.
He has said he wouldn't do that without a clear indication that a measure could reach his desk. “After deep consideration, it is clear to me that right now, 43 days from Election Day, is not the moment to make this change,' McDonnell said. McDonnell is term-limited and will leave office in early January.
