Powell clinches Democratic nomination in pivotal Nebraska swing district

Denise Powell won the Democratic nomination in Nebraska’s 2nd District, narrowly defeating state Sen. John Cavanaugh and advancing to a general election against Republican Brinker Harding. The race is a top target for Democrats to flip a House seat after Don Bacon’s retirement, helped by major outside groups backing Powell, while Cavanaugh drew progressive and union support. The district voted for Biden in 2020 and 2024, and Cook has it as Lean Democrat, highlighting the national importance of this contest as Democrats seek to net three seats to gain the House. Powell stressed unity and the opportunity despite a bruising primary campaign.
