Thank you to Nebraska State Senator @katejbolz for this endorsement and CONGRATULATIONS Kate on your primary win the other night! Like myself, Senator Bolz is running for Congress against a LOYAL Trump supporter. If I was @JeffFortenberry, I'd be scared. :) #DemocraticUnity https://t.co/VFTvHWghHR

In 1945, President Harry Truman proposed a national health insurance program. In response, the monied American Medical Association condemned it as “socialized medicine” and labeled Truman’s White House staffers “followers of the Moscow party line.”

"It is difficult to imagine a person like you running in a second spot to a weaker man, but it is even more incredible to try to understand how you are going to try to embrace the socialist platform of your party.”

In 1950, Nixon ran against Rep. Helen Gahagan. Nixon’s entire campaign involved calling her a communist. He labeled her the “Pink Lady” (pink being the color of those who were sympathetic to Red communists) who was “pink down to her underwear.”

Wanna know what conservative segregationists in the South called civil rights activists? Yep. "Socialists" and "Communists." They also claimed that the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision, which banned school segregation, was the product of communist influence.

Though Medicare is quite popular now, when Democratic politicians BEGAN discussing it, the AMA hired the then-actor Ronald Reagan to make the case against it in a record. Reagan also wrote a letter comparing President John F. Kennedy to author Karl Marx.

Already, without missing a beat, my Republican opponent @DonJBacon is retreating to a TALKING POINT he will continually use in the general election. He is calling me a "socialist." But of course this smear has a LONG history in our politics. :). Want to learn about it?

2. Polling places will be open from 8am to 8pm. They will be staffed and precautions will be taken. Voters are not required to wear masks, but state and local election officials (and WE!) recommend it. The state will make masks available for voters who show up without them.
