Just days after former President Donald Trump was projected to have won the presidency, Trump's transition team operation has begun, with transition co-chairs confirming that he will be selecting personnel to serve under his leadership in the coming days.

Trump is also the projected winner in Arizona, a state the former president flipped after losing it to Joe Biden in 2020.

Trump's projected win in the vital swing state marks a sweep of the battleground states.

I don't like Osborn's chances, Monica

It's true that Osborn is leading in Nebraska, Monica, but I don't like his chances. That's because most of the votes that are reporting are from relatively liberal Omaha and Lincoln. I expect Fischer to gain once rural Nebraska reports.

One particularly bad omen for Osborn: He's running basically even with Harris in the state, and Harris is not going to win Nebraska.

Can an independent win in Nebraska's Senate race?

With 29% of the expected vote reporting, Osborn leads Fischer 55% to 45% in the race for Nebraska’s Senate seat. Nebraska is a solidly Republican state, so Osborn's performance there has been an unexpected surprise: Recent polls have shown a tied race. Osborn has tried to cut an idiosyncratic middle path, supporting abortion rights and unions while championing the Second Amendment, and has not said whether he will caucus with either part if he wins.
