Here's a link to the Nebraska senate race this year that's actually exciting:

From the latest Manifold newsletter:

Nebraska (special): Preston Love Jr. (D) vs. Sen. Pete Ricketts (R)

Commentary:

In 2020, the Democratic Senate nominee in Nebraska was Chris Janicek. He was urged to drop out after scandals including sexual harassment. The Democratic party switched to supporting Preston Love, Jr. as a write-in candidate. Janicek got 24% of the vote anyway, and Love got only 6%. They lost to Ben Sasse, who voted to convict Trump in his impeachment trial, but later left the Senate to serve as president of the University of Florida a position he has somewhat unceremoniously left.

All this to say, in addition to the exciting election in Nebraska, there’s a special election to fill Sasse’s vacancy. The Republican nominee is Pete Ricketts, governor from 2015–2023, heir to TD Ameritrade,4 and the man appointed to fill the seat. The Democratic nominee: Preston Love, Jr., who got 6% of the vote in 2020.
