Don Bacon Is “Thankful” For Trump’s Endorsement

After endorsing Donald Trump three times and spending years following his marching orders, it's no surprise Don Bacon was rewarded for his loyalty and "thankful " to accept Trump's endorsement.

Bacon is making it clear he will continue falling in line with Trump's every command at the expense of Nebraskans and will help implement his dangerous Project 2025 agenda, which includes surveilling women's pregnancies, raising costs on the middle class, and shuttering public schools across the country.

Bacon has shown time and time again that he'll put loyalty to Trump over Nebraska families by:

  • Backing Trump's tax scam that raised taxes on middle class families.

  • Supporting a national abortion ban, just like Trump. Bacon co-sponsored the Life at Conception Act three times, which would ban abortion with no exceptions for rape, incest, or the woman's life and could end access to IVF.

  • Helping to kill a bipartisan border security bill because it would harm Trump's re-election chances.

  • Saying "hell yes" to Trump's plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which would put 295,000 Nebraskans with pre-existing conditions at risk of losing coverage.

  • Ordering his official side staff to fast track a visa for a Trump Media executive just weeks after Trump threatened to recruit a primary challenger against him.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
"Don Bacon only cares about keeping his seat in Washington, and Nebraskans are left to pay the price. By accepting Trump's endorsement, Bacon is confirming he'll do what he's always done: cave to MAGA extremists and leave Nebraska families behind."
