So long Ben Sasse!

Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse is stepping down to take a job at University of Florida! He often bashed Trump and voted to impeach Trump, but he more often sided with the former guy’s political views. He really has not done much for his home state except for the rich. The only bad thing that will come out of this? Is a Republican will fill the seat if Ricketts appoints his replacement before Ricketts leaves his post as Governor or the next Governor appoints Ricketts to the seat.

Story from USA Today.

And all the faculty, staff, and students. I once was proud to call myself a Gator.
