Though Burbank initially hinted she might step aside to boost Osborn’s chances, she’s stayed in the race, quietly focusing on teaching and avoiding public events for her own campaign — while actively campaigning for independent Austin Ahlman, whose candidacy has stirred tension with the state Democratic Party. Ahlman, now officially on the ballot, calls Burbank a friend, while Osborn remains undeterred, pledging to keep running strong. With no legal paperwork filed to remove Burbank’s name and the general election just months away, Nebraska’s Senate race is heating up — and the legal and political fallout could be wild.
