Democrats eye Nebraska as an opportunity to take a Senate seat away from Republicans

OMAHA, Neb. — Marine Corps veteran Gunner Arellano is a Donald Trump man — he voted for the president three times — but, he said, he won’t be casting a ballot for Sen. Pete Ricketts, R-Neb., in November.
Dan Osborn, an independent who has the backing of the state’s Democratic Party, is “more for the people” than Ricketts, Arellano, a 35-year-old tobacconist, said in an interview at the S.G. Roi cigar shop in downtown Omaha late last month.
While Arellano is familiar with Ricketts, a former two-term governor who ranks high on the list of wealthiest senators , he said that the senator isn’t present enough.
