Conservatives compelled by Trump are pushing Nebraska to adopt a winner
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — By the time conservative activist Charlie Kirk took the stage, there was no doubt that it was Donald Trump who had led him to travel to Nebraska and pressure state lawmakers to adopt a “winner-take-all” system of awarding Electoral College votes.
“You see what’s ahead of us,” Kirk said Tuesday night at a rally before a crowd of about 500. “Trump vs. Biden is bigger than just an election. It is a civilizational survival question.”
Kirk joined the Nebraska Republican Party, currently led by Trump loyalists, to hold the rally Tuesday in an evangelical Christian church located in a southwest Omaha shopping center. While about 500 people packed the room in which Kirk spoke, about 400 more were in overflow rooms set up elsewhere in the church, said spokesman Andrew Kolvet of Turning Point, the pro-Trump organization that Kirk helped establish.
