Sasse Wins Big in Nebraska

Ben Sasse (R) pulled off a victory in Nebraska Tuesday night, winning the Republican Senate primary to become the nominee and likely the next senator from the Cornhusker State, Roll Call reports.

“Sasse benefited from massive spending by outside groups like the Club for Growth and Senate Conservatives Fund. Those groups did a lot of the dirty work, running a barrage of negative ads bashing first Osborn and, later, Dinsdale, while Sasse’s own campaign only ran positive spots about the candidate.”

Omama World Herald: “The Sasse campaign gained national attention for his Tea Party-aligned message, which won him backing from various Tea Party leaders and national conservative groups. Those outside groups contributed more than $2 million in campaign spending to boost Sasse and take down his rivals.”
