Nebraska Republican Don Bacon will not seek re-election to Congress

  • On Saturday June 28, Nebraska Congressman Don Bacon announced he will not seek reelection in 2026, ending his fifth term representing Nebraska’s 2nd District.
  • Facing internal party dysfunction and a shift to lean Democrat in the district, Bacon decided not to seek re-election in 2026.
  • NBC News cited two sources, five local Republican sources confirmed, and an outlet cited three people familiar with Bacon’s retirement plans.
  • Bacon’s retirement opens a prime Democratic pickup in Nebraska’s highly divided, diverse swing district, potentially shifting House control in 2026.
  • Next week, a formal announcement is expected as Nebraska’s 2nd District opens, with key Democrats already running and more candidates likely to join, transforming the race.
