“Dan Osborn, the independent Senate candidate who nearly toppled an incumbent Republican last year, is taking steps to prove his overperformance in deep-red Nebraska was no fluke,” Politico reports.
“On Thursday he announced the formation of an exploratory committee, setting him on potential collision course with one of the wealthiest members of the Senate, Republican Pete Ricketts — something Osborn said amplified the ‘illness’ of the uber wealthy influencing politics.”
Said Osborn: “Billionaires have bought up the country and are carving it up day by day. The economy they’ve built is good for them, bad for us.”
