OMAHA – Republican Rep. Don Bacon stood in his campaign office tucked behind a busy commercial stretch on the city’s outskirts and pondered his place on the political spectrum.
Democrats say he’s a committed member of former President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement, while some of his fellow Republicans dismiss him as “a commie Democrat RINO,” he said on Wednesday, using a derisive acronym for Republican in Name Only.
The retired Air Force brigadier general seeking his fifth term said he’s tried to chart his own course. “That’s the personality of our district,” Bacon said.
