“Now, Ricketts remains favored to win, enjoying about a 4 in 5 chance of success in Decision Desk HQ's Senate forecast. While the polls are close, Ricketts's chances are helped by Nebraska's firmly red lean. Additionally, Republicans have taken Osborn more seriously this time around. The GOP's main outside group for Senate races — the Senate Leadership Fund PAC — recently increased its spending support for Ricketts from $7 million to $15 million.” — Decision Desk HQ on Pete Ricketts, Decision Desk HQ “Republican Rep. Jen Kiggans is now a clear underdog in the DDHQ forecast, with only about a 1 in 6 shot of beating Democratic ex-Rep. Elaine Luria, whom Kiggans ousted in 2022.” — Geoffrey Skelley on Jen Kiggans, Decision Desk HQ
