LINCOLN — Former President Joe Biden is coming to Nebraska next month for the Democratic state party’s top annual fundraising event.
It will be one of the few public appearances for Biden since he dropped out of the 2024 presidential election amid concerns from party leaders over his electability following a debate performance against then-former President Donald Trump.
While Biden visited the state in 2017 and 2019, he never visited Nebraska during his 2020 campaign or presidency, breaking a streak of presidents making appearances in the state. Second gentleman Doug Emhoff went to Omaha for Biden before he dropped out.
Presidential hopeful Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear earlier this year announced a visit to Nebraska in November. This continues the trend of prominent Democratic figures making their way to the heartland – particularly Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, where it is likely the open seat will decide which party controls the U.S. House for the next two years.
