"Democrats are backing Osborn after he had a "surprisingly competitive performance in 2024," the report said. While he still lost, CNN explained that it was "a closer-than-expected race." So, they tried something new, putting the party's weight behind an independent. Now Forbes could upset all of that.

For voters who aren't aware of who Forbes is, they could enter the booth on Election Day and mark the Democrat out of habit, not knowing that Forbes is anti-choice and pro-Trump.

Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb said, "William Forbes is not running to serve Nebraskans. He is running to trick voters. Forbes wants to ban all access to abortion – an extreme position that makes life more dangerous for women and babies. Forbes is using the Democratic ballot line to deceive voters who deserve better."

She also called it "a political maneuver engineered by Pete Ricketts to split the opposition vote and protect his Senate seat.""
