Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is pushing for Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts to fill the vacant seat left by Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), who recently announced his retirement.
Sasse confirmed on Oct. 6 that he will retire early from the Senate and will likely take a position as president of the University of Florida.
Now, Graham wants Ricketts to take Sasse’s place in the Senate—a position to which Ricketts could theoretically appoint himself. Under Nebraska law, the governor appoints a new senator if a vacancy arises in the middle of a term.
However, Ricketts has been clear that he does not intend to appoint himself, though he did still leave open the prospect of joining the U.S. Senate when his term is over.
“If I choose to pursue the appointment, I will leave the appointment decision to the next governor and will follow the process established for all interested candidates,” Ricketts said. “It is the honor of a lifetime to serve as the governor of Nebraska. It is the greatest job in the world, and it will remain my number one focus for the remainder of my term.”
Ricketts’s second and final term expires in early 2023.

The are an insidious lot.
Ricketts is Crickets when it comes to defending Freedom in this country.
This is theMe too. I look forward to the day when I'll be able to close down the linda ping list due to FReeper disinterest.
Instead of Ricketts, can’t they get an actual Republican to replace Sasse? (Ricketts is to the left of Sasse on the issues)
Other news said (the Hill and WaPo)
“As lawmakers were being evacuated from the Capitol on Jan. 6, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) reportedly told the Senate sergeant-at-arms to use guns to quell the people who had breached the building.”

I am calling for a boycott of anything suggesting Graham is a reasonable, normal person who should be recognized or listened to. Just my humble opinion.
I also don’t want Charles Manson quotes or manifesto sections from serial murderers.
Rickettes is a Republican for those who didn’t know.
I looked pretty hard to find out there hasn’t been a
Nebraska Democrat governor since the 90s.
I didn’t see it mentioned what party Rickettes was
a member of.
I don’t know much about this story except that Ricketts promised he would not nominate himself, so he’s off to a poor start.
“”Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is pushing for Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts to fill the vacant seat left by Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), who recently announced his retirement.”
Badly written - of course the governor would appoint someone to fill the seat vacated by Sasse - why not say Graham wants the governor HIMSELF to take the seat!!! We don’t get paid to edit all the bad writing by so-called journalists...
Just what they need in the way of a Senator, another
Mitt Romney.
Lindsey needs to put a sock in it.
Talk about outing the Nebraska governor as deep state.
“(Ricketts is to the left of Sasse on the issues)”
Why do you think they want him in the Senate??
S/he really is annoying.
Dude is CIA. Been saying it for ever.
“Ricketts promised he would not nominate himself, so he’s off to a poor start.”
Yeah, he’ll just wait a few weeks till he’s out of office and have his successor appoint him.
I know nothing about Ricketts, but it Linda wants him there has to be someone better.
I don’t think he’s bright enough.
FBI
If Linda wants this then NO, NOT NO BUT HELL NO!!!
This was the RINO plan for Sasse’s seat all along.
