Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : "The potential winner-take-all electoral change would have been pivotal if the Republican-leaning state then allocated all of its five electoral votes solely to Trump if he won statewide, instead of dividing them with Harris if she won in one of Nebraska's three congressional districts.
27% : Trump on Monday thanked Pillen for attempting to "simplify the complexity" of the state's electoral map, while attacking McDonnell for opposing it, calling him a "Grandstander.""Unfortunately, a Democrat turned Republican(?)
20% : "And asked about Walz's comments and if Harris and Trump should make campaign stops in Omaha -- as well as if his own decision may have changed the outcome of the election -- McDonnell stayed away from making any predictions, but invited them both to Omaha.
