A union leader who led the strike at Omaha&#8217;s Kellogg plant in 2021, his campaign received a surge of outside funding that forced Republicans to redouble their efforts in a race that was thought to be an easy win. Osborn went on to significantly outperform Kamala Harris in the deep-red state. But he ultimately <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/nebraska-2024-senate-fischer-osborn\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">lost to Sen. Deb Fischer<\/a><\/span>, the Republican incumbent, by seven percentage points.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, Osborn is taking on Ricketts, while positioning the bid as representative of a broader fight between the &#8220;billionaire class&#8221; and the working class.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m running for Senate because Congress shouldn&#8217;t just be a playground for the rich,&#8221; Osborn said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/08\/e8b5cbdd-5821-40ce-9e2b-62a794b1ae1e\/thumbnail\/620x413\/1e6eecf80108498f89061dfe34213384\/gettyimages-2177762506.jpg#\" alt=\"Independent Senate candidate Dan Osborn chats with attendees after speaking during his campaign stop at the Handlebend coffeshop in O'Neill, Neb., on October 14, 2024. \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/08\/e8b5cbdd-5821-40ce-9e2b-62a794b1ae1e\/thumbnail\/620x413\/1e6eecf80108498f89061dfe34213384\/gettyimages-2177762506.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/08\/e8b5cbdd-5821-40ce-9e2b-62a794b1ae1e\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/3c6310c31a8581cfdacda7bb060d47ed\/gettyimages-2177762506.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Independent Senate candidate Dan Osborn chats with attendees after speaking during his campaign stop at the Handlebend coffeshop in O&#8217;Neill, Neb., on October 14, 2024.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Bill Clark\/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;Sen.

Dan Osborn will side with Chuck Schumer over Nebraska families and vote with Democrats to open the border, hike taxes, and stop the America First agenda.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ricketts was appointed to the Senate in 2023 upon former <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/ben-sasse-resigns-senate-university-of-florida-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Sen. Ben Sasse&#8217;s resignation<\/a><\/span> to become president of the University of Florida. Last year, Ricketts handily won his bid in a special election to serve out the remaining two years of Sasse&#8217;s term. Ricketts, one of the wealthiest members of Congress, is the son of Omaha billionaire Joe Ricketts, the founder of TD Ameritrade, and owner of the Chicago Cubs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Osborn has accused Ricketts of &#8220;trying to buy power in Nebraska,&#8221; while saying that when &#8220;working people need his help,&#8221; it&#8217;s &#8220;always the same old story: Crickets from Ricketts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In his announcement Tuesday, Osborn urged that &#8220;we&#8217;ve got to make things more affordable, secure the border and take on the corruption in Washington,&#8221; echoing the populist message and moderate positions he stressed in his first campaign \u2014 like opposition to national abortion restrictions, support for &#8220;reasonable gun safety measures&#8221; and stronger border security.<\/p>\n<p>In the 2024 race, Fischer accused her independent challenger of being a &#8220;Democrat in disguise,&#8221; while leaning on an endorsement from President Trump. The president <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/114315902995818386\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">endorsed<\/a> Ricketts in April, claiming that Osborn is a &#8220;Radical Left Open Border Extremist, who will put our Country, and Safety, LAST,&#8221; while &#8220;Pete, on the other hand, will ALWAYS put Nebraska, and America, FIRST.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fisher also backed Ricketts and previewed the race in an April <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DebforNebraska\/status\/1907883801914568960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">post<\/a> on X, saying, &#8220;Dan Osborn tried to fool Nebraskans last year.
