And as far as republicans go, he struck me as someone with a modicum of decency. Even though he voted party line 80%+ of the time, he remained critical of Trump throughout his presidency. Sure, that may not seem that impressive but it is Nebraska we’re talking about. It was better than his Trump sycophant suck up colleague Deb Fischer.

He actually voted to remove Trump during his second impeachment hearings, one of only five to do so.
