Our model currently predicts that Deb Fischer has a 85% chance of winning .

Dan Osborn is classified as a Democrat in our model, even though he is running as an independent. This classification stems primarily from his campaign’s reliance on mechanisms and strategies associated with the Democratic Party. For instance, he uses ActBlue for fundraising and has engaged with the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. In this solid red state, the otherwise dormant Democratic Party has nearly unanimously supported his challenge to Republican dominance. Our Senate model assumes Osborn will caucus with the Democrats if elected. This assumption is a key factor in the math that determines the fight for a majority in the US Senate.
