ENDORSEMENT: Pete Buttigieg is endorsing Denise Powell for #NE02 — a mom, small business owner, and public school champion fighting to win Nebraska's Blue Dot.

Pete knows Denise has what it takes to flip this seat from red to blue in November.

[tré easton @treeaston]

I think a good analogue here is Kara Eastman in 2018 for NE-02. The DCCC spent on her behalf after she won the primary with support from the left.

2018 was a wave year for House Dems (hell they won a seat in OKLAHOMA) and she still came up short.

Lefties flopping in swing seats isn't just idle stuff. There's legit reasons for concerns.

NEW: from @PabloReports on #NY17

"[Beth] Davidson’s brand is the fighter who delivers. But the record in Rockland is a bill that never got a hearing, a portfolio that profits from the machinery of deportation, and a TV ad telling Hudson Valley voters she never backs down."

[Oppo Drop 💣 @OppoDrop]

🚨 Just months after Trump commuted George Santos' prison sentence, the DOJ is investigating him again.

Santos manipulated a Kalshi market on his State of the Union attendance, announcing he'd go, betting thousands that he wouldn't, then posting that he couldn't make it.

[Evan Shapiro @shapiroNY]

@admcrlsn not the point but IIRC there was a reporter (i think @WhitmanAndrew?) who did a podcast dedicated to the NY-03 democratic primary in 2022 when the district went across the LI sound but ended it because of redistricting

Zimmerman campaign did get like 100 pages of oppo, but NYC media market was incredibly expensive, and the media was too busy shouting CRIME to care about any of it

Great visit to Western North Carolina this week - from learning about @JamieAgerNC's small business while visiting his farm, to making the case for the campaign underway.

Oh my god, the writers 100% used AI to write the DNC autopsy report.

[Adam Wren @adamwren]

With Bob Brooks’ win, @ElectTheBench goes 5/5.

[Denise Powell for Congress @DeniseForNE]

Loved joining @TheWeekendMSNOW to talk about my campaign to flip this seat. Nebraskans are sick and tired of this administration and they’re ready for a fired up mom to go to Congress and get to work on lowering costs and reigning in the chaos and corruption of the Trump administration.

4-0 with more to come from @ElectTheBench

[Andrew Mamo @AndrewMamo5]

We started @ElectTheBench to help candidates win tough primaries, compete in places Dems too often write off, and build a party that actually looks and sounds like this country.

Denise, Jamie, Bobby and James are perfect examples of that work.

And we’re just getting started

[Denise Powell for Congress @DeniseForNE]

Now that every vote has been counted I want to thank all the other candidates, their staff and supporters for their hard work and dedication to this state.

I want to especially thank @JCavNE02 for his kind phone call. I have enormous respect for Senator Cavanaugh and am grateful for all he’s done to make our state a better place.

I look forward to working with him and all of the other candidates to continue fighting for our beloved Nebraska.

[Denise Powell for Congress @DeniseForNE]

NE-02 is ready for fresh leadership and I’m so honored to have a shot to fight for Nebraskans in Congress. Great to join @jaketapper on @cnn tonight!

Help me flip this seat >>> https://t.co/7tb3uRzgny

[Bob Brooks @VoteBobBrooks]

Sorry I wasn’t lucky enough to go to college. All I have to show for it is decades of experience fighting for working men and women and getting laws passed that protect them and their families.

You want to bad mouth me? Fine. But your contempt for the working folks in this country is unacceptable. You have no right to represent them in congress and frankly you owe them an apology.

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

NEW: Denise Powell has won the Democratic primary for #NE02, one of the most flippable districts in the country.

This November, Democrats are going to flip Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District blue and take back control of the House. Onwards to November!

[DCCC @dccc]

A well-earned win, @DeniseForNE! From protecting public schools to pushing back against extremism, Denise has been on the frontlines fighting for Nebraska families.

Denise is a community leader who will stand up for Nebraskans in Washington and that's why they’ll send her to Congress this November! #NE02
