The eyes of the nation will be on Nebraska’s 2nd congressional district this November as Republican incumbent Don Bacon defends his seat against surprisingly strong opposition from Democratic challenger Kara Eastman.
Political science professor Paul Lindow with the University of Nebraska says races like Eastman’s are especially interesting due to political events of the past few years like the creation of the #metoo movement and the election of President Trump
Lindow says, of particular interest is the way she’s running against the more established Bacon
Still, Lindow says Eastman does have a solid chance at winning and is buoyed by recent political trends like the #metoo movement
