National network coverage of the independent movement’s proven vote-getter.
CBS News covered Dan Osborn’s announcement that he’s running for U.S. Senate in Nebraska as an independent, challenging Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts. The network’s reporting highlights the history Dan already made: a political newcomer in 2024 who turned a race everyone had written off into one of the most competitive Senate contests in America, significantly outperforming the top of the ticket in a deep-red state.
CBS notes Dan’s biography — mechanic, Navy veteran, union leader, registered independent — and his message that Congress shouldn’t be a playground for the rich. It’s a message that resonated with hundreds of thousands of Nebraskans across party lines two years ago, and it’s resonating again now.
This is what the independent veterans movement looks like when it reaches national scale. When a network like CBS treats an independent challenger as a serious contender from day one, the old assumption — that only a Republican or a Democrat can win — is already dead. IVA is proud to support Dan Osborn as he proves it.
