Former Omaha Mayor and Congressman Hal Daub will end his Senate bid at a press conference in his hometown this morning, just ten days after jumping into the race. The Omaha World-Herald broke the story this morning.

An underdog in the Republican race to replace Senator Chuck Hagel, Daub's exit is a good thing for Cornhusker Republicans. With three major candidates running for the Republican Senate nomination, the GOP nominee would have likely faced a Democrat without a primary.

Former Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns is a heavy favorite in the GOP primary, though Attorney General Jon Bruning remains in the race to put up a fight. Former Democratic Senator Bob Kerrey is still said to be mulling a bid.
