2028 Democratic primary in Nebraska
Nebraska is expected to vote after the early states, often on or after Super Tuesday in early March. Nebraska has leaned Republican in recent presidential elections (it voted Republican in 2016, Republican in 2020, and Republican in 2024), so the Democratic primary here is mainly about national delegates rather than a likely November target. Nebraska is not one of the six Democratic early states; its 2028 Democratic primary date has not been announced yet.
