I’m working on a larger congressional project right now, but I want to share some good news out of Nebraska:
Democrat Scott Kleeb is expected to join the race for U.S. Senate next week.
A source with knowledge of Kleeb’s plans said the Hastings resident has decided to run.
On Wednesday, Kleeb would say only that he’d made a decision and would have an announcement on Monday.
The source spoke on condition of anonymity because Kleeb hasn’t made his announcement yet.
Kleeb would be running in the primary against Larry Marvin of Fremont and Tony Raimondo of Columbus.
Two Republicans are running: former Nebraska Gov. Mike Johanns and Schuyler businessman Pat Flynn. Steve Larrick is the Green Party candidate.
Raimondo had considered running as a Republican but changed parties, saying the primary closed up when Johanns entered.
Raimondo is not even a DINO. He’s a Republican. Kleeb can win this primary, although winning the senate seat will be an uphill battle. Think Jon Tester.
