The Battle For Nebraska’s “Blue Dot”

The race for the White House is entering its final phase as the calendar changes to October this week, and some experts are saying the contest could come down to one small part of the nation, Nebraska’s second district. The state, that splits its presidential delegates, has only awarded a Democrat a delegate in that district twice since 1992, but Democrats are hopeful they can win to avoid a potential tie in the Electoral College. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) joins the Rundown to discuss the importance of Nebraska’s “blue dot” district, reacts to Vice President Harris’ visit to the southern border, and shares his thoughts on Israel’s strike against Hezbollah that killed its leader Hassan Nasrallah.
