WASHINGTON- The outcome of the 2020 Presidential Election could be in the Omaha-area's hands. According to an electoral college map, Biden would top Trump 270-268. Nate Silver who tweeted that figure says, “It’s all going to come down to the recount in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District.”

President Trump will most likely win the state overall, but the state awards one electoral college vote to the winner of each district. President Obama won the district in 2008, which declared the city a "blue-dot".
