Republicans are set to retain their supermajority in the Unicameral after flipping two seats previously held by Democrats. The legislature is officially nonpartisan, but the party affiliations of senators have historically had implications on issues like abortion, gender-affirming care and Nebraska’s electoral vote allocation. For example, in May 2023, the Let Them Grow Act and Preborn Child Protection Act, which banned most abortions after 12 weeks and added restrictions on gender-affirming care for minors, passed with 33 votes.
