LINCOLN- Over the past week, several national Republican leaders have urged Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts to accept an appointment to the Senate and then gear up for 2024's race.

Besides Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina made a direct pitch to Gov. Ricketts at the annual Republican steak fry gathering in Nebraska last week.

"I hope you'll think about it, sit down with your family and pray on it," said Graham, "and if that opportunity comes, maybe you can take the competency and caring and the conservativism you've demonstrated here in Nebraska and bring it to help us in Washington."

"Think about it," Graham urged the Governor. It has been a few years since a Nebraska Governor held a seat in the Senate, but it isn't unheard of. Several more recent Governors have done so, including Jim Exon, Bob Kerrey, Ben Nelson, and Mike Johanns.

Present also at the steak fry event was former Vice President Mike Pence, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
