- Beef: ranchers oppose the administration's plan to import more foreign beef, and Ricketts said, "I would advise the White House to change that policy."
- 2024: Osborn ran a close race against Sen. Deb Fischer but lost, per The Hill.
- Blitz: the Grand Island stop is part of Trump's 32-day pre-election rally tour.
