Republican Rep. Don Bacon, a vocal Trump critic, won't seek reelection
Briefly

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Nebraska) has announced he will not run for reelection, heightening Democratic hopes in a battleground district. His decision follows recent Democratic victories, including the election of Omaha's first Black mayor. Bacon, known for his opposition to Trump and past critiques of Republican policies, has represented the purple district since 2016. His departure could signify challenges for House Republicans ahead of the midterms, as the DCCC positions itself to reclaim the seat, potentially reshaping the political landscape in Nebraska.
Bacon's decision not to seek reelection reflects the challenges faced by House Republicans and suggests a potential shift in Nebraska's second district towards Democrats.
With Nebraska's second district trending Democratic, Bacon's retirement signifies a significant opportunity for the DCCC as they aim to reclaim the House in the midterms.
