BREAKING: Jim Pillen has defeated Trump-backed Charles Herbster in the Nebraska GOP gubernatorial primary.
. He has fiercely denied the allegations, and his campaign manager told The Nebraska Examiner, which first reported the allegations, that it was"a political hit-piece built on 100% false and baseless claims."
"We have to try to unite the Republican Party in Nebraska. It's going to take some work," Herbster said."We have to do that. It's necessary. I'm going to go to the event tomorrow and have the chance to shake Jim Pillen's hand." "We're going to invest the farm in our kids so all our kids know the grass is greenest in Nebraska," he said. He also reaffirmed his desire to"end abortion in Nebraska" and spoke about the desire to focus on agriculture and education.
Trump did see one of his candidates win Tuesday. In West Virginia's 2nd Congressional District, Trump-backed Republican Alex Mooney beat fellow Republican David McKinley. The two congressmen were drawn into the same House seat after the state lost a congressional district after the 2020 Census.
