As management of the Senate hangs within the steadiness, many eyes are on Dan Osborn, of Nebraska. He’s a dream candidate for the Democrats: a mechanic within the food-processing business, a former president of his native union, and a veteran of the Navy and the Military Nationwide Guard.

David Remnick talks with Osborn about main a strike at a Kellogg’s plant, how Donald Trump’s tariffs are affecting voters in an agricultural state, and Osborn’s determination to not caucus with both get together if he wins the seat.
