Democrat Kara Eastman has secured the backing of her party's presidential nominee in her race with Republican Rep. Don Bacon.
Former Vice President Joe Biden made it official Saturday, endorsing Eastman in Nebraska's most competitive House race for the Omaha area's 2nd Congressional District.
"Nebraskans face a choice between Eastman — an advocate for working families — and Rep. Don Bacon — who supports Republicans' attempts to overturn the Affordable Care Act,” Biden said.
Bacon has had President Donald Trump in his corner since March. In recent weeks, the Trump campaign has sent surrogates to Omaha, including Second Lady Karen Pence, to boost Bacon and stump for Trump.
