Omaha — Democratic voters held a divisive primary Tuesday to select a nominee for Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District after Republican Rep. Don Bacon announced his retirement, with state Sen. John Cavanaugh, activist Denise Powell and district court clerk Crystal Rhoades emerging as the leading contenders in a contest focused on preserving the district's 'blue dot' in presidential elections. Omaha-area Republicans field an unopposed GOP nominee, City Council member Brinker Harding, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, and national attention and multimillion-dollar advertising have intensified intra-party attacks and messaging; voters will decide a nominee Tuesday, and the chosen Democrat will face a general election in November that could affect control of the U.S. House.
