Nebraska GOP pushes unity after primary fight with incumbents; delegates disagree
“Since our delegation won their primaries pretty substantially, we should let the public know that we appreciate the process and support the people,” he said.
The resolution faced immediate pushback from the majority of delegates, led in part by Bacon’s primary opponent, Dan Frei. Frei said he adamantly opposed endorsing members of the delegation because they hadn’t come to the meeting to ask for the endorsements.
Instead, delegates passed the endorsement of Trump and punted the delegation decision to a later date after it became clear the measure lacked enough votes. That step was proposed by a state party official.
“Endorsements are earned, not given,” said Frei. He conceded the race Friday but has yet to endorse Bacon, who won by 24 percentage points.
It remains unclear what kind of unity either side in the intra-GOP fight would accept.
