Senate Primary in Nebraska

from RealClearPolitics Podcast · host RealClear Media

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and RCP Senior Elections Analyst Sean Trende discuss today’s Senate primary in Nebraska, where the leading Democratic candidate, Cindy Burbank, has promised that if victorious, she will not run in the November general election in order to give the independent candidate, Dan Osborne, a better shot at beating incumbent GOP Senator Pete Ricketts. Also, state lawmakers in South Carolina begin debate on redistricting, a move that would likely eliminate the seat currently held by influential Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn. Then, Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy joins the guys to discuss her a new book: All American Patriotism celebrating the 250th anniversary of America’s Declaration of Independence. Next, they discuss today’s inflation data released by the U.S. Department of Labor which shows consumer prices in April up 3.8% from a year ago, the biggest annual increase since May 2023. And finally, President Trump leaves today for a summit meeting in China accompanied by a gaggle of U.S. business leaders. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
