Nebraska Dem Won Primary, Plans to Drop Out for Independent Senate Bid

Cindy Burbank won Nebraska’s Democratic primary and says she will drop out of the November Senate race to clear the field for independent candidate Dan Osborn, whom Democrats see as the best path to defeating Republican Pete Ricketts. Osborn is backed for the general election to challenge Ricketts; Democrats also eye the second congressional district, the state’s blue dot, and Nebraska’s district-based electoral votes that could influence future races.

Nebraska Democrats knew they couldn’t unseat Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts, so they backed a Democratic nominee who promised to drop out if she won and urged supporters to consolidate behind an independent with the best chance to win statewide. The strategy, aimed at unseating a deep-red incumbent, got complicated and will test whether an independent can prevail in Nebraska.

California Rep. Kevin Kiley Switches from GOP to Independent

California Rep. Kevin Kiley, once a rising MAGA-aligned figure endorsed by Trump, announced he’s leaving the Republican Party to become an independent, citing frustration with hyper-partisanship and gerrymandering. He’s up for reelection this year and will not commit to voting for House Speaker Mike Johnson until his term ends, a move that further thins the GOP’s already razor-thin House margin amid looming midterm uncertainty.

California Rep. Kiley shifts to independent, vows to caucus with GOP

Kevin Kiley announced he is switching his party designation from Republican to independent and will run for reelection in the Democratic-leaning 6th District on a no-party-preference ballot, while continuing to caucus with Republicans. He also said he won’t seek reelection in his current 3rd District after redistricting tilted districts toward Democrats.

California Rep. Kevin Kiley Leaves GOP to Sit as Independent

California Rep. Kevin Kiley announced he is leaving the Republican Party to become an independent, changing his registration to no party preference while saying he will continue to caucus with Republicans for administrative purposes. The move comes amid a tough reelection fight after redistricting, and it marginally shrinks Speaker Mike Johnson’s already narrow GOP majority, though Kiley’s continued caucusing with the party could limit any immediate impact. He indicated he will decide his caucus alignment for the next term based on constituents’ needs and has long opposed mid-decade redistricting.

Kiley exits GOP to become Independent, narrowing Johnson's House majority
