OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska Republicans are set to nominate a candidate for governor in a primary race that's turned bitter.
That contest has been upended in recent weeks after a leading candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump was accused of groping at least eight women over the last few years.
The candidate, businessman and cattle breeder Charles Herbster, denies those allegations.
The GOP primary to replace Republican Gov. Pete Ricketts features eight other candidates.
Joining Nebraska with its own primaries on Tuesday is West Virginia, where a congressional race between two GOP incumbents will provide another measure of the former president’s sway with voters.
