TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump is pushing for a change in Nebraska's electoral voting system to a "winner takes all" approach, which could impact President Joe Biden's chances of winning re-election. The current system allocates two electoral votes based on the statewide majority and three based on congressional district wins. With the 2024 race potentially coming down to a few electoral votes, Trump hopes to swing Nebraska's system in his favor. However, a recent attempt to change the system failed, and time is running out before the legislative session ends. Trump has urged Nebraska lawmakers to push through the measure, while Maine is the only other state not following the winner-takes-all system.
