Trump Slams Senator Who Prevented Nebraska Changing Its Electoral Voting System

Former President Donald Trump slammed Nebraska Republican Sen. Mike McDonnell after the state senator said he would not support a change to the way the state allocates its Electoral College votes that would likely increase Trump’s chances of winning the presidential election in November.

Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Monday afternoon that McDonnell is a “Grandstander!” who “decided, for no reason whatsoever, to get in the way of a great Republican, common sense, victory.”

The criticism from the former president came hours after McDonnell reiterated he would not support a change to the way the state—which is just one of two that doesn’t use a winner-takes-all approach—allocates its electoral votes, saying he was concerned about the timing of the change and it reducing Nebraska’s national significance.
