Why did Nebraska swing so far left

[Pres Mike]

Nebraska as a whole swung 6 points! That is tied with Kansas for having the biggest swing outside the Northeast region

I know Kansas has slowly been moving left but no one talks about Nebraska. Perhaps Trump's tariffs and trade wars hurt a lot of farmers?

NE-2 did swing 9 points, far more than any congressional district. Perhaps that swung the state as a whole?

Possibly Interesting Fact: With his 2020 Democratic pickup of the presidency of the United States, Joe Biden’s only likewise pickup to give him a higher margin than his national result was Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District.

The NE-2 margin was fairly surprising. 

Somewhere in the middle of the election night I saw that + Biden's easy win in NH and was confused by the FL result. 

Those few hours on November 3 when Trump was leading were some of the worst of my life. Than the networks said Biden won NE-2 and FOX said he won AZ and my heart rate went down....

Colorado had an 8.59-point swing to Biden vs. Delaware (7.59%) and Maryland (6.79%) followed by 6 for Nebraska and 5.77 for Kansas, so technically, Nebraska had the fourth biggest swing outside of the Northeast.

Gary Johnson did unusually well in Colorado 2016 which explains a lot of that swing. And I am counting Delaware and Maryland as part of the general northeast
