Soros-linked dark money group props up Nebraska independent candidate in key Senate race
Fox News
An independent candidate in Nebraska's Senate race has managed to make the election more competitive, with millions of outside money being poured into the state on his behalf.

Both the Cook Political Report and Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics recently shifted the race from "Solid" or "Safe" Republican to "Likely Republican." The race is now alongside that of Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., in each rating system. Sabato's Crystal Ball also ranks the Nebraska Senate race in the same category as Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, but Cook has moved the Texas match-up to a more competitive placement. Follow Julia's reporting on X at @JuliaaJohnson_ and send tips to Julia.Johnson@fox.com.
