Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) has won the Republican primary for Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District, fending off a challenge from conservative hardliner Dan Frei. Despite not having the support of state and local Republican chapters, Bacon managed to secure the nomination. He will face Democrat Tony Vargas in the general election this fall. Bacon's victory comes amid criticism from the right for his support of various policies, including DEI in the military, the January 6 committee, and Biden's infrastructure bill. Decision Desk HQ projected Bacon's win. The Cook Political Report rates the November race as Lean R.
