Walz will campaign in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District this week in an effort to court the swing district that sided with the Democratic ticket in 2020.
Nebraska’s unique electoral system awards two electoral votes to the state’s popular vote winner, and each delegate after that is awarded to the winner in each congressional district. Some election projection models view this single district as a deciding factor in the 2024 general election.
If Harris is able to win over the three “blue wall” states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin and Trump wins Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina, the race could wind up being a 269-269 tie, in which the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives. Nebraska’s single electoral vote, however, could change that if no other states have differing results.
