Dan Osborn Wants to Help Working Class Run for Office

“Dan Osborn, an industrial mechanic who ran as an independent Senate candidate in Nebraska, came up short in his quest to unseat Senator Deb Fischer, a low-profile Republican whose closer-than-expected victory in a red state clinched Senate control for her party on election night,” the New York Times reports.

“But Mr. Osborn’s 47 percent of the vote in Nebraska well outpaced Vice President Kamala Harris’s 39 percent, and in what he called his ‘almost success,’ there might be clues to how a more populist approach could wrest the working class from Republicans, not through partisan warfare but class consciousness.”
