Rep. Don Bacon, a centrist Republican from Nebraska, has confirmed that he will not seek reelection, leading to a competitive race for his seat in the House of Representatives. Bacon, known for his independent stance and willingness to criticize former President Trump, has decided to retire at the end of his current term, prompting speculation about potential successors and the implications for the Republican majority. His departure from Congress opens up significant opportunities for both parties as Democrats eye the now-vacant 2nd District seat.
