 An activist, Charlie Kirk, first publicly called on Nebraska to back the winner-take-all system, doing so with just days left in the regular legislative session. Given this year's tight race, Nebraska's system caught the attention of high-profile Trump loyalists, including Charlie Kirk. It was Kirk who publicly called on Pillen to back a winner-take-all system with only days left in the year's legislative session to accomplish it. Within hours of Kirk's social media post, Pillen issued a news release urging lawmakers to make the change. This is so important to do, everybody.
