Lindsey Graham from South Carolina, and others backing former President Donald Trump to discuss Nebraska potentially adopting a winner-take-all approach to presidential elections before November. Nebraska and Maine award a single Electoral College vote to the winner in each congressional district, plus two votes to the statewide winner of the presidential popular vote.

McDonnell was a lifelong Democrat before he switched to the Republican Party in April.
