Ricketts backs Trump, his wife supports Clinton: Nebraska's first family illustrates election split
Omaha - Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts lives in a house divided, politically speaking.
The Republican governor’s wife, Susanne Shore, has donated $4,700 to Democrat Hillary Clinton in both the primary and general election and $1,000 to the Hillary Victory Fund, a joint fundraising operation between the Clinton campaign and state parties designed to help get Democratic candidates elected at the local and state level.
Shore also has officially registered as a Democrat. - Omaha World Herald

Why is this significant? For a couple of reasons:
1) Because FiveThirtyEight is now showing Nebraska's 2nd district is BLUE!
2) Demonstrates how many educated women in republican families are backing Hillary Clinton.
