Independent candidate for US Senate Dan Osborn dons a baseball hat referencing the US Navy vessel on which he served, on September 3, 2026 at Pals Brewing Company in North Platte, Nebraska. Dan Osborn, a 51-year-old Navy veteran, is running as an independent for the US Senate. The industrial mechanic and former union leader is a relative political novice, and says he's always refused to define himself along party lines. "We're in this forever power struggle between the left versus the right, but I say it all the time: we have to shed those red and blue jerseys," Osborn told AFP.
