Watch this Morning Joe conversation between veteran columnist Mike Barnicle and MSNBC legal correspondent Lisa Rubin about GOP Nebraska state Senator Mike McDonnell, who Republicans hoped would help ease former President Donald Trump’s path to the White House by agreeing to change how the state of Nebraska allocates its Electoral College votes, announcing he would not agree to change Nebraska’s 32-year tradition of awarding three of the state’s five electoral votes by congressional district to a winner-take-all system based on the statewide popular vote. “Making a decision as Mike McDonnell made this close to an election, it’s amazing that we’re living in a political culture where Mike McDonnell is now thought of as perhaps getting a Profile in Courage Award.
