Nebraska Republican Representative, Rep. Don Bacon, has advised President Trump to shift his campaign strategy towards policy issues in order to secure the crucial electoral vote from Bacon's swing district. Bacon emphasized the importance of discussing substantive matters and steering clear of distractions such as celebrity gossip.
According to Bacon, voters in suburban and urban areas, particularly in the Midwest, are inclined towards a more policy-oriented approach, often referred to as 'Nebraska Nice.' He stressed the significance of highlighting economic achievements, such as wage growth outpacing inflation, and addressing border security concerns.
Bacon expressed confidence in Trump's potential for success by running a disciplined campaign centered on these key issues. He believes that focusing on these topics could resonate well with swing voters and contribute to a winning argument for the President.
Regarding the ongoing debate on how Nebraska allocates its electoral votes, Bacon acknowledged the significance of the discussion but suggested that any potential changes to the system might have to wait until the next legislative session. This statement follows a recent setback for a pressure campaign led by Trump to alter Nebraska's election laws, particularly the method of awarding electoral votes by congressional district rather than a statewide winner-take-all approach.
Despite the challenges faced in attempting to modify the electoral vote allocation process, Bacon remains optimistic about the prospects for Trump's campaign success in Nebraska and emphasizes the importance of focusing on policy-driven messaging to secure electoral victory.
