OMAHA- The spouses of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris made their way to Sarpy County on Saturday, which was a very strategic plan for the Democratic campaign. The neighborhood Jill Biden and Doug Emhoff visited sits right between Nebraska's 1st and 2nd Congressional Districts. This location is significant because Nebraska gives out one vote to the winner of the popular vote in each of the three congressional districts.

The State Democratic Party Chair, Jane Kleeb, believes Biden could win in both districts. A recent poll showed Biden leading by a large margin in the 2nd District. This summer, a poll showed Biden would just edge out president Trump in the 1st District, but polling has been sparse there as the campaigns move into the home stretch.

Many questions at the event concerned military health care, housing, and working while a military spouse was deployed during the pandemic. Trump has also sent surrogates to the 2nd congressional district area, including Karen Pence, Lara Trump, Donald Trump Jr, and on Thursday Vice President Mike Pence.

Pence had a message for a crowd of about 275 people in a Carter Lake warehouse: “The road to victory runs straight through Iowa.” He said Iowans will help reelect Trump and Pence in 2020, just as they did in 2016.“Men and women of Iowa, we’ve got to decide right here and right now that Joe Biden will never be president of the United States of America,” Pence said. He said Nebraskans “need to go to work, too.”
