The Nebraska Democratic Party denounced a Democratic candidate for Senate recently that they allege to be a Republican Party plant, CNN reported Monday, with the candidate being exposed for having supported President Donald Trump, opposed access to reproductive health care and attended a GOP-sponsored training event.
That candidate is William Forbes, a 79-year-old pastor who filed to run for Senate as a Democrat earlier this month. The Nebraska Democratic Party has backed independent candidate Dan Osborn this election cycle, creating what CNN described as an unusual dynamic in which a lone Democratic Senate candidate could siphon votes from Osborn and potentially hand Republicans an easy victory.
Forbes spoke with CNN for its report Monday, in which he admitted that he had voted for Trump in multiple elections and had attended a GOP-backed leadership summit as recently as January. Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb also provided CNN with screenshots from a now-deleted Facebook page that she said show Forbes attending anti-abortion events.
