Sasse Kicks Off Re-Election Bid

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) kicked off his reelection bid Monday  and “struck a tone similar to that of his first election bid, juxtaposing folksy stories with sweeping proclamations about the nature of liberty and the philosophical underpinnings of American government,” the Omaha World Herald reports.

Said Sasse: “America is an experiment. America is an idea. What we said in 2014 is just as true now.”

He also added some new themes, saying the 2020 elections are “a choice between civics and socialism.”
