Deb Fischer Election Results: Republican Projected Winner In Nebraska Senate Election

The projected win gives Republicans a vital pick-up in the Senate, as Democrat Senator Ben Nelson announced late last year that he would not seek re-election. Democrats fielded a viable candidate Bob Kerrey, a former Nebraska senator himself, in hopes of keeping the seat in the Republican stronghold.
