Welcome back to our groundbreaking “Meet The 2024 Independent Candidates” series—highlighting independent candidates of all kinds, for all levels of office, from all across America. In our last episode we heard from Shelane Etchison, a super badass veteran running for Congress in North Carolina.

This episode we have another inspiring veteran. And he’s one of the hottest names in American politics today. You met him here first back in May in Episode 280. And it took the rest of the country a couple of months to catch up to the story, but he is finally now making national headlines. He’s union organizer, mechanic, first-time candidate and independent Navy veteran, Dan Osborn (@OsobornForSenate). He’s running for Senate in Nebraska facing off against Senator Deb Fischer, a highly-partisan Republican incumbent who refuses to even debate Dan.

He’s shocking the political world by taking the lead in the race according to multiple recent polls. America is noticing. Voters are noticing. And his Republican opponent is definitely noticing. And you’ll hear from Dan unfiltered and uncensored from his home garage studio. You’ll hear how he plans to win, how he feels about Fisher refusing to debate him, what kind of car he’s working on in his garage with his son and how he feels about Army vs Navy in football! He’s redefining independents for the world–and showing that we can win.

And the voters of Nebraska aren’t alone in supporting independents. More and more people are registering as independents. In New York, voters are registering as independents in record numbers. You’ll learn more. And you’ll also hear Paul dig into American airstrikes you likely missed, new reasons to dislike Jill Stein AND action star Steven Seagal. Who is apparently buddies with Putin. Yes, really.

And your host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) digs into all of it in this all new episode of Independent Americans. From North Korean involvement in the war in Ukraine to the US military bombing ISIS in Syria, Independent Americans covers the national and global security news you can’t afford to miss. Because on Independent Americans, we’re focused on not just what’s happening now, but also on what’s happening next.
