LINCOLN — President Joe Biden's reelection campaign has hired two seasoned Nebraska organizers — Precious McKesson and Meg Mandy — as senior advisors to lead the state campaign.
The two will lead efforts to provide an electoral college vote for Biden, the presumptive Democratic candidate for president, and continue Omaha's reputation as the "blue dot" on the electoral college map.
“Precious and Meg are leaders with deep Nebraska ties who will be critical to delivering Omaha for President Biden again this November,” said Dan Kanninen, Biden-Harris battleground states director. “Nebraskans’ rights and fundamental freedoms are on the ballot this year and this team is well-qualified to build on the momentum on the ground to help reelect President Biden and Vice President Harris.”
Nebraska is one of two states that allow its electoral college votes to be split, despite repeated Republican efforts to return the state to a winner-take-all allocation. The most recent attempt came late in this year's legislative session, under pressure from former President Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP candidate for president, and conservative national talk show host Charlie Kirk.
