OMAHA- Omaha is a key district to win for multiple races, including the presidential election. This week, the spouses of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be visiting the 2nd Congressional District of Omaha. The visit of Dr. Jill Biden and Doug Emhoff follows a month of visits by members of President Trump's campaign.
Political observers say the single electoral vote the district gives could decide the race. Biden plans to compete for Omaha's 'blue-dot' that he and President Obama won in 2008. Mitt Romney and President Trump won this district in 2012 and 2016. Trump defeated Clinton by just 2 percentage points in this district. As of now, Biden leads trump by 6% in the 2nd District according to a poll by the House Majority PAC. The same poll shows Rep. Don Bacon and Kara Eastman practically tied. Bacon was leading Eastman by 5% in July.
Nebraska and Maine are the only states which award a single electoral vote to the winner of the popular vote in each congressional district. Nebraska awards two electoral votes to the statewide winner, which is projected to be Trump.
