LINCOLN — Former President Joe Biden is coming to Nebraska next month for the Democratic state party’s top annual fundraising event, held this year in Omaha. It will be one of the few public appearances for Biden since he dropped out of the 2024 presidential election amid concerns from party leaders over his electability following a debate performance against then-former President Donald Trump.

Biden in 2010 visited Nebraska to campaign for then-Democratic congressional nominee Tom White while Biden was vice president. He also visited the state in 2017 and 2019. He never visited Nebraska during his presidency, breaking a streak of presidents appearing in the state. But he did visit neighboring Council Bluffs during his 2020 campaign. Biden will be joined at the Nebraska Democratic event by Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, who has been discussed as a potential presidential candidate. The Democrats announced Beshear’s participation earlier this year. This continues the trend of prominent Democratic figures making their way to the heartland – particularly Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, where it is likely the open seat will decide which party controls the U.S. House for the next two years.
