OMAHA — The first debate of the second race between Democratic State Sen. Tony Vargas and Republican U.S. Rep. Don Bacon drew clearer lines between the candidates than the last campaign.

Both candidates punched holes in one another’s stances Friday on abortion, immigration, guns and ethics during the hourlong debate hosted by the League of Women Voters and the Omaha Press Club. The debate was aired on WOWT.

As in 2022, Vargas emphasized his support for reproductive rights and Bacon defended his belief that new life deserves protection.

But on Friday, neither gave an inch to his opponent to add nuance or explain the subtleties of their stances on abortion access, limits or exceptions.
