Nebraska State Senator Mike McDonnell announced that he is switching parties to the Republican Party on Wednesday.
A Nebraska state senator on Wednesday announced that he is leaving the Democrats and joining the GOP, a move that could help the state change its election laws to favor former President Donald Trump.State Senator Mike McDonnell told reporters on Wednesday, 'Today I'm announcing, I am now going to be a registered Republican in the state of Nebraska,' after being a Democrat since 1984.
This approach would align with the majority of states but would mean changing Nebraska's unique method that allows its electoral votes to be split by Congressional district—a practice shared only with Maine.Former President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden secured a portion of the state's electoral votes by winning enough votes in 2008 and 2020, respectively.
