2026 battleground election

Ballotpedia identified the November 3 general election for Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District as a battleground election. The summary below is from our coverage of this election, found here.

Denise Powell (D), Brinker Harding (R), and Eric Michael Foreman (L) are running in the general election for Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District on November 3, 2026.

Incumbent Don Bacon (R), first elected in 2016, is not running for re-election. The Nebraska Examiner's Juan Salinas II said, "Like in other cycles, election analysts view the district as a top pick-up opportunity for Democrats. The 2nd District includes all of Douglas and Saunders Counties, and a significant portion of suburban and rural Sarpy County. It also includes the state’s largest concentration of Democrats, even after it was redrawn after the last census to include a larger swath of Republican-leaning rural voters in Wahoo and surrounding areas."[2] As of July 2026, major election forecasters rated the general election Lean Democratic or Tilt Democratic.

Bacon won re-election 51.3%–48.7% in 2022 and 50.9%–49.1% in 2024. That year, Kamala Harris (D) defeated Donald Trump (R) 51.6%–47.0% in the 2nd District.[3] There are eight Republican-held U.S. House districts up for election in 2026 that Kamala Harris (D) won in the 2024 presidential election.

Powell is a former corporate communications director and partner at an architecture firm. She co-founded the Women Who Run Nebraska political action committee. Powell's campaign website says she "is running for Congress because while our representatives say they’re fighting for us in Nebraska, they’re voting against us in Washington, DC. Every day, we see more of our friends and neighbors struggling to make ends meet while Donald Trump and MAGA extremists are focused on trade wars that are increasing our cost of living and passing massive tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk."[4]

Harding was elected to the Omaha City Council in 2016. He earlier served as chief of staff to Omaha Mayor Hal Daub (R) and as an executive at an investment management firm.[5] Harding's campaign website said, "Unlike in Washington, we have balanced the City of Omaha’s budget every single year. On the City Council, I have voted to lower Omaha’s property tax levy three times. And when most major cities are suffering from a 40% increase in violent crime, we have driven Omaha’s violent crime rate to historic 40-year lows. We didn’t defund our police, we gave them the record pay raise they deserve. "[6]

As of June 30, 2026, Powell had raised $2.67 million and Harding had raised $2.03 million.

The outcome of this race will affect the partisan balance of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 120th Congress. All 435 U.S. House districts are up for election.

Currently, Republicans have a 219-214 majority with two vacancies in the U.S. House.[7][8] To read more about the U.S. House elections taking place this year, click here.

Polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[9] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[10] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here. For tips from Pew, click here.

Below we provide results for polls from a wide variety of sources, including media outlets, social media, campaigns, and aggregation websites, when available. We only report polls for which we can find a margin of error or credibility interval. Know of something we're missing? Click here to let us know.

Satellite spending

Satellite spending describes political spending not controlled by candidates or their campaigns; that is, any political expenditures made by groups or individuals that are not directly affiliated with a candidate. This includes spending by political party committees, super PACs, trade associations, and 501(c)(4) nonprofit groups.[11][12]

The tables below contain data from the Federal Election Commission (FEC). They include totals from monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual reports, as well as 24- and 48-hour reports.

Race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[13]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[14][15][16]

Last four weeks

Ballotpedia reviews external race ratings every week throughout the election season and posts weekly updates even if the media outlets have not revised their ratings during that week. The table below shows the most recent four weeks of ratings until the election date, if available.

Campaign websites

Harding's campaign website stated the following:

Vision

This year, we will celebrate the 250th birthday of the greatest country on earth. Next November, Americans will choose what we want our next 250 years to look like. I am running for Congress because I believe America needs to look less like the failed policies of California and New York and more like its Heartland.


In Congress, I will fight to make America more affordable and make Congress accountable to the people it serves.


Affordability

  • Grow our economy, increase wages, and keep inflation in check
  • Pass year-round E-15 to help lower gas prices and support Nebraska agriculture
  • Take on Big Pharma and Big Insurance to guarantee Americans pay the same low prices for prescription drugs as other developed countries
  • Protect critical programs like Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare for single moms, veterans, the elderly, and disabled – NOT illegal immigrants or able-bodied adults
  • Make healthcare, including IVF, more accessible and affordable for Nebraska families


Accountability

  • Support term limits, ban congressional stock trading, and halt congressional salaries during government shutdowns
  • Promote body cameras and identifiable uniforms for ICE agents like we do with the Omaha Police
  • Deport criminal illegal immigrants who commit violent crimes
  • Pass nationwide Voter ID to ensure only American citizens can vote
  • Stand up to career politicians, crack down on waste and fraud, and make government truly accountable to the people

— Brinker Harding's campaign website (July 22, 2026)

Harding's campaign website stated the following:

Restore America

America’s national debt has increased from $3 trillion in the 1990s to $37 trillion today. Last year, for the first time in history, America spent more on the interest payment on our debt ($1 trillion) than we did on our national defense ($850 billion). 

Out of control spending is bankrupting America’s future, jeopardizing our national security, risking the longevity of key programs like Social Security and Medicare, and, worst of all, forcing our great-grandchildren to foot the bill with higher taxes and crippling interest rates. 

On the Omaha City Council, I have balanced Omaha’s budget every single year – without sacrificing essential services our residents rely on. 

In Congress, I will fight to grow our economy and eliminate wasteful spending to increase revenues and reduce our deficit. 

Grow America

For too long, Washington politicians have abused the American taxpayer, forgotten the American worker, abandoned critical industries and supply chains, and relied on foreign energy to fuel our economy.

As a business leader, Chief of Staff to Mayor Hal Daub, and as an Omaha City Councilman, I have developed public-private partnerships to grow Omaha’s economy from the Missouri River to the Elkhorn River.

We have lowered the property tax levy, created jobs, and transformed Omaha into the #1 City to Move to in America (Forbes) and the hottest housing market in America (US News & World Report).

In Congress, I will fight to cut your taxes, bring down gas & grocery prices, lower interest rates, create good-paying jobs, repatriate critical supply chains, expand American energy production to reduce our dependence on foreign countries, and ensure America is the global leader for emerging technologies like cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence, not our adversaries like China.

Secure America

Under the Biden Administration, America suffered under weak leadership that made us less safe.

Biden’s open borders allowed 10.3 million illegal immigrants to cross our borders, 5x the population of Nebraska. 2 million of those illegal immigrants, the population of Nebraska, evaded Border Patrol–we don’t know who they are, where they came from, or where they are now.

In Afghanistan, a feckless and tragic withdrawal saw us lose 13 American servicemembers, including Nebraska’s own 23-year-old Corporal Daegan Page.

This weakness gave way to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, an unprecedented assault on our ally Israel by Iran and its proxies, and China licking its chops to invade Taiwan.

Across urban America, we see a 40% increase in violent crime threatening the safety of our communities and ruining our once-iconic cities like New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, and our nation’s very capital in Washington, D.C.

In Omaha, we didn’t defund the police. We gave our heroes the record pay raise they deserve. As a result, we have driven Omaha’s violent crime rate to 40-year lows. And our streets and neighborhoods are safe, clean, and business-friendly.

In Congress, I will fight to keep our border secure, deport criminal illegal immigrants, rebuild our military to restore peace through strength, hold criminals accountable, and stand with law enforcement to keep our communities safe.

Renew America

As we celebrate America’s 250th Birthday next year, we must renew the promise of America for our next 250 years.

The promise that if you work hard, follow the law, and treat people right, the American Dream of a good-paying job, homeownership, safety, and a better future for your children and grandchildren is attainable.

A 2023 Wall Street Journal poll found that 78% of Americans don’t believe their children’s generation will be better off. We must renew our hope for America's future.

In Congress, I will fight to restore, grow, and secure America – to make our country more like its Heartland. If we do that, we will renew our nation’s promise and make our next 250 years a new Golden Age for America.
