Trump rallies in Nebraska for Sen. Pete Ricketts against independent Dan Osborn
Trump carried Nebraska by about 20 points three times; early in-person voting opened the day of the rally.
Pete Ricketts (Sen-R Nebraska) faces Dan Osborn (I-NE), who has Democratic backing and no Democrat splitting his vote, because the Democratic primary winner withdrew from the ballot.
Why a red state needs a rally:
- 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.
