Kamala Harris swears Nebraska's Pete Ricketts into Senate
Gov. Jim Pillen appointed Ricketts to fill Sasse’s seat earlier this year. He will serve out the remainder of Sasse’s term and then be required to run in a special election in November 2024 to complete the final two years of Sasse’s six-year term. Vice President Kamala Harris presided over his swearing-in.The Nebraska senator, who ran unsuccessfully for the upper chamber in 2006, said he is committed to running for the seat in both 2024 and 2026.
Both Ricketts and Pillen have pushed back on criticism that the replacement process involved “backroom dealings.” Pillen said Ricketts beat out eight other Republican finalists who applied to replace Sasse. Sasse resigned after Pillen was sworn in, which enabled Ricketts to fill the seat without having to self-appoint himself.
Ricketts said he and his predecessor shared a lot in common but told the Washington Examiner he would not have voted to convict Trump.
