'''Benjamin Eric “Ben” Sasse''' (born February 22, 1972 (age {{age|1972|2|22}})) was the [[Opposition to Donald Trump|Never-Trump]] junior United States Senator from [[Nebraska]] until he quit early in his term. The Nebraska Republican Party passed a resolution rebuking Sasse for his vote in February 2021 in support of [[Dem]]s' [[impeachment and removal|impeachment]] of him over the [[J6 Capitol protests]]. '''''Before completing even half of his term, Sasse cashed in with a "jackpot" $10 million deal to be president of the [[University of Florida]], including multiple unusual benefits,<ref>https://www.highereddive.com/news/ben-sasse-jackpot-UF-contract-president/637256/</ref> and as possibly facilitated by the [[Koch network]] that directs [[Florida]] Gov. [[Ron DeSantis]]'''''.
A [[Opposition to Donald Trump|Never-Trumper]] like former Sen. [[Jeff Flake]] (R-AZ), Sasse relies on a shadowy network of [[globalist]] billionaires to get reelected. Sasse pushes the globalism agenda in the [[U.S. Senate]] in return, such as seeking participation by the [[United States]] in distant foreign wars. He supports the [[dark money]] agenda of allowing states to legalize and promote [[marijuana]]. In many ways Sasse is merely a puppet of the [[neoconKoch network]]s.
Sasse is a member of the [[Republican Party]], first elected in November 2014 after his job as a president of an obscure university. Sasse has served on the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry; the Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs; the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs; and the Joint Economic Committee; and the Special Committee on Aging. Sasse was reelected in 2020 but would be vulnerable to a challenge by a pro-[[Trump]] candidate in the [[GOP]] primary 2026.
