"Trump's Direct Pressure: The Battle Over Nebraska's Electoral Vote"

Former President Donald Trump reportedly pressured Nebraska State Sen. Tom Brewer to revive a winner-take-all system for awarding Electoral College votes, despite the legislative session's impending end. Governor Jim Pillen and Trump's campaign team have also joined the effort, aiming to change Nebraska's current system, which allocates electoral votes by congressional district. The pressure campaign has faced resistance within the Legislature, with a bill to return to winner-take-all remaining stuck in committee and a special session being floated as a potential avenue for change.
