内布拉斯加州第2选区2026年中期选举成为全国焦点，共和党候选人布林克·哈丁与民主党候选人丹尼斯·鲍威尔竞争已退休众议员唐·培根的席位。1该选区具有独特的政治特征——它是全国仅有的8个在2024年总统选举中支持卡玛拉·哈里斯、但在众议院选举中支持共和党的选区。1自2008年以来，该选区总统选举代表已三次投票给民主党，而民主党人自1994年以来仅在众议院选举中赢过一次。1
特朗普计划通过组织共和党活动深度参与这次选举。1他已组织下月在达拉斯举行的为期两天的共和党中期选举大会。1民主党也在积极应对，前运输部长皮特·布蒂吉格和前芝加哥市长拉姆·伊曼纽尔为鲍威尔的竞选活动造势。1
前任众议员培根在其最后任期内的独立立场表明该选区的政治复杂性——他曾批评国防部长皮特·赫格塞特、试图限制特朗普的关税权力，并是唯一反对将墨西哥湾改名为美洲湾的众议院共和党人。1
Former President Donald Trump is positioning himself as the central figure in the 2026 midterm elections, organizing a two-day Republican midterm convention scheduled for next month in Dallas and planning frequent visits to competitive districts 1. However, his strategy may encounter obstacles in Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District, one of the nation's most unusual political battlegrounds.
The district represents a rare swing zone where voters have defied traditional partisan patterns 1. Nebraska's 2nd is among only eight districts nationwide that backed Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election while simultaneously supporting a Republican in their House race 1. The district has voted for Democratic presidential candidates three times since 2008, yet Democrats have won the House seat only once since 1994 1. The seat, vacated by retiring Representative Don Bacon, is now contested between Republican Brinker Harding and Democrat Denise Powell 1.
Powell's campaign has mobilized prominent Democratic figures, with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel rallying supporters 1. Bacon, during his final term, took positions that diverged from Trump's agenda, criticizing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, attempting to restrict the president's tariff authority, and serving as the only House Republican to oppose renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America 1.
