The Republican push to change how Nebraska awards its Electoral College votes and boost former President Donald Trump ran into political reality Monday as a key lawmaker, State Sen. Mike McDonnell, announced he won’t support the change.

In a statement issued Monday, Nebraska Senator Mike McDonnell said he would not vote for a proposed winner-take-all system for Nebraska’s electoral votes.

State Sen. Mike McDonnell released a statement saying it was clear that 43 days from the election is "not the moment to make this change."
