丹·奥斯本是一名无党派人士，他誓言如果当选为内布拉斯加州下一任参议员，将不与共和党或民主党组成党团。他将于本周六与进步派民主党众议员罗·卡纳一同开启竞选活动。
卡纳是首位与奥斯本一同开展竞选活动的民选官员。奥斯本目前正挑战现任参议员、前内布拉斯加州州长皮特·里基茨。内布拉斯加州国会代表团中没有民主党议员，这使得该州成为这位加州众议员为2026年任何候选人助选时到访过的共和党倾向最浓厚的州。卡纳此前已在包括艾奥瓦州和密歇根州在内的越来越多的摇摆选区中为民主党候选人助选。他表示自己乐于尽一切可能提供帮助，并指出他清楚自己的亮相可能会向保守派和无党派选民传递何种信号。
“我会对这些选民说，你们真的希望一名信奉印度教的印度裔美国进步派人士前来吗？”卡纳在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时表示，“我可以不亲自到场，仅为你筹款或发送邮件支持，但他们说：‘不，我们希望你能亲自前来。’”
卡纳将与前蒙大拿州州长、共和党全国委员会主席马克·拉西科特以及前伊利诺伊州众议员乔·沃尔什一同参加奥斯本的市政厅活动。两人均为特朗普总统的批评者：拉西科特因反对特朗普及其他共和党候选人，遭到蒙大拿州共和党人的谴责和开除党籍。沃尔什曾在2016年支持特朗普，2020年曾短暂挑战特朗普，之后退出共和党，并于2025年登记为民主党人。
奥斯本表示，杰弗里·爱泼斯坦案促成了这场联合活动。
“我们所有人背景迥异，不可能在所有问题上都达成一致——没有任何一个政党垄断了好的理念，”奥斯本在给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的一份声明中写道，“但我们都有一个核心信念：华盛顿特区已经失灵，因为像皮特·里基茨这样的爱泼斯坦阶层亿万富翁将利润置于普通民众之上。”
今年9月，当“爱泼斯坦流动图书车”来到奥马哈时，奥斯本与受害者幸存者进行了会面。他的竞选活动经常将其竞选纲领描述为“打造为普通民众而非爱泼斯坦阶层亿万富翁服务的内布拉斯加州愿景”。
卡纳是围绕爱泼斯坦文件的核心发声者之一，他与共和党议员托马斯·马西一同倡导通过《爱泼斯坦文件透明度法案》，并持续推动全面公开相关文件。他表示，对问责制的担忧是他前往那些“我之前从未想过会受邀前往”的州助选的原因。
卡纳暗示，特朗普政府对爱泼斯坦文件的处理方式，总体上印证了许多选民心中的背叛感。
“就选民摇摆而言，那些感到被特朗普背叛、可能转向我们的群体，民调显示这是他们最关注的单一议题，”卡纳说，“这触及了人们对经济被操纵、体制腐败的感知。”
本周一，这位连任五届的众议员在密歇根州与威廉·劳伦斯一同开展竞选活动。劳伦斯正试图在密歇根州第七国会选区击败共和党众议员汤姆·巴雷特。他还曾在艾奥瓦州为民主党参议院候选人乔希·图雷克以及新罕布什尔州的克里斯·帕帕斯助选。
萨巴托的水晶球民调机构将劳伦斯和图雷克的竞选局势评为“势均力敌”。距离选举日不到三周，该机构将新罕布什尔州的选举评级从“倾向民主党”调整为“大概率民主党”，同时将内布拉斯加州的选举评级从“大概率共和党”调整为“倾向共和党”。

Dan Osborn, an independent who has vowed not to caucus with Republicans or Democrats if elected to serve as Nebraska’s next senator, will hit the campaign trail Saturday with progressive Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna.
Khanna is the first elected official to campaign with Osborn, who is trying to unseat incumbent Sen. Pete Ricketts, a former Nebraska governor. There are no Democrats in the state’s congressional delegation, making it the most heavily Republican state where the California congressman has campaigned for any 2026 candidate. Khanna has campaigned for Democrats in a growing list of battleground races, including Iowa and Michigan. He says he’s happy to help in any way and indicated he is sensitive to the message his appearance might send to conservative and independent voters.
“I tell these folks, do you really want an Indian American of Hindu faith who’s a proud progressive coming out?” Khanna told CBS News. “I’m happy to not come out and raise the money for you or send an email, but they said, ‘No, we want you to come out.’”
Khanna will be participating in a town hall for Osborn alongside former Montana Gov. and RNC Chair Marc Racicot and former Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh. Both are critics of President Trump: Racicot was rebuked and censured by the Montana GOP after opposing Mr. Trump and other GOP candidates. Walsh, who supported Mr. Trump in 2016, briefly ran against him in 2020 and later left the Republican Party and registered as a Democrat in 2025.
Osborn said the Jeffrey Epstein case brought the panel together.
“We all have very different backgrounds, and we’re not going to agree on everything—no party has a monopoly on good ideas,” Osborn wrote in a statement to CBS News. “But we all share the core belief that D.C. is broken because Epstein Class billionaires like Pete Ricketts are putting profit over everyday people.”
Osborn met with survivors when the Epstein Bookmobile came to Omaha in September, and his campaign frequently describes his campaign as a “vision of a Nebraska built for everyday people, not Epstein-class billionaires.”
Khanna is one of the key voices on the Epstein files, advocating the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act with Republican Thomas Massie and continuing to push for a full release of the files. He says the accountability concerns are why he’s heading to states where “I never would have told you that I would be invited.”
Khanna suggested that the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files speaks more generally to a broader sense of betrayal for many voters.
“In terms of the swing, the slice of voters who feel betrayed by Trump and who could swing to us, the polling shows that this is its single biggest issue,” Khanna said. “It gets to the sense of the rigged economy and the corruption.”
On Monday, the five-term congressman was in Michigan campaigning with William Lawrence, who is attempting to unseat GOP Rep. Tom Barrett in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District. He also campaigned with Democratic Senate candidates Josh Turek in Iowa and Chris Pappas in New Hampshire.
Sabato’s Crystal Ball rates Lawrence and Turek’s races as toss-ups. With less than three weeks to go before Election Day, it shifted New Hampshire in Pappas’ favor from Lean Democratic to Likely Democratic and Nebraska in Osborn’s favor, from Likely Republican to Leans Republican.
