WASHINGTON- According to two sources close to Sen. Ben Sasse, and KFAB talk show host Ian Swanson, the Senator is expected to resign his seat in the coming months to assume the role of president at the University of Florida.

In the case of a Sasse resignation, Governor Ricketts would fill the empty seat with a person of his choosing. This appointed Senator would serve in the seat until 2024, causing both Nebraska Senate seats to be up for grabs during a presidential election year. Afterward, in 2026, the seats would resume their normal rotation.

Sen. Sasse is currently serving his second term in the seat, and has made a name for himself in the Senate as a Trump-critic and unwavering Conservative vote-caster.

Sasse played a sizable role in former President Trump's second impeachment trial, denouncing the ex-President's claims that he had won the election "by a landslide."

Sasse stated during an impeachment hearing that "First, President Trump lied that he 'won the election by a landslide.' He lied about widespread voter fraud, spreading conspiracy theories despite losing 60 straight court challenges, many of his losses handed down by great judges he nominated. He tried to intimidate the Georgia secretary of state to 'find votes' and overturn that state’s election."

The University of Florida, who will be hiring Sasse as president, announced today that Sasse emerged as the sole finalist among several applicants for the position. Officials with the university, in an attempt to ally any doubts, claimed the selection process was "exhaustive."
