"Almost resigned" is a long way away from "resigned," which would require a good deal more from Don Bacon, who announced months ago he won't seek reelection. However, he did say "he's interested in serving in an executive role down the road, and wouldn't rule out running for Nebraska governor, or even president in 2028" (bacon.house.gov). Hahahahahahaha.
