In an election where nothing can be taken for granted, Democrats are hoping their vice presidential candidate can help lock up an electoral vote that’s up for grabs in Nebraska come November.
They’re betting that Tim Walz, who was raised there, can help counteract some of the “stereotypes” that might be associated with Vice President Kamala Harris, who is from California and might be perceived as “overly liberal” or “out of touch” by Nebraska voters, state Sen. Jen Day told NOTUS.
But Walz, she added, offers some “small-town charm that people would be looking for in Nebraska.”
