A competitive election in NE-2 that favors Democrats also will indirectly benefit Dan Osborn. Encourages more left leaning and moderate voters to not only turn out to vote for Vargas, but also potentially for Osborn whose also has quite a progressive platform. Vargas would also be building up his own network, infrastructure, and fundraising to turn out and win over voter, which puts less burden on Osborn to spend, all while not needing to coordinate at all with Vargas and Democrats. Finally, the more voters that turn out and vote for Vargas, and Osborn in turn, means Osborn needs to win less voters in the 1st and 3rd thus increasing his margin for error.
