OMAHA- Two weeks after spurning an almost guaranteed endorsement from the Nebraska Democratic Party, nonpartisan Senate candidate Dan Osborn has not yet drawn a party-backed write-in candidate to face Republican incumbent Sen. Deb Fischer. It might be the case that he could avoid one altogether.

Jane Kleeb, Democratic Party Chair, said she would prefer Osborn to endorse President Joe Biden and caucus with the Democrats if elected.

Douglas County Democratic Party Chair CJ King echoed a similar sentiment, saying he would prefer that Osborn simply side with Democrats, regardless of whether he wants a formal endorsement from the party. "I hope he wins and caucuses with the Democrats," said King, "I'd love to see him endorse President Biden." However, according to Kleeb, the promotion of a party-backed candidate is not off the table.
