Nebraskans Jockey for Sasse Seat

Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts (R) “isn’t going to appoint himself to the Senate when Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) leaves for his new gig in Florida. But when his term as governor is up in January, he’s not opposed to being appointed by the next guy,” Politico reports.

“Unlike a handful of other governors who have passed on opportunities to make the jump to the Senate, Rickets spoke fondly of the upper chamber.”
