Would I have voted for him? Hell no, but I don’t live in Nebraska either, where tge last democrat they voted to to the senate was Ben Nelson (pretty conservative democrat in the mold of Manchin).

He left in 2013. Nebraska has got very red since.

Sasse actually voted to remove after January 6th so he deserves some credit. Fifty three is incredibly young and he has 3 kids. Sad.
