💨 Abstract
Republican U.S. Don Bacon of Nebraska announced he will not seek reelection in 2026, citing increased political polarization and desire for family time. Bacon, known for his centrist stance, faced challenges balancing his party’s views with those of his progressively leaning district. His district has voted Democratic in recent presidential elections, and the local political climate is shifting. Several Democrats have already announced their candidacies to succeed Bacon.
