Trump Heads to Nebraska on Monday, Where His Plan to Import More Beef Has Angered Ranchers
On Monday, President Donald Trump visits Grand Island, Nebraska, for a campaign rally at the Pinnacle Bank Expo Center, with doors opening at 2:30 p.m. and the event beginning at 4:30 p.m.
Trump travels to Nebraska to support GOP Sen. Pete Ricketts, who seeks his first full six-year term against independent candidate Dan Osborn in a race now watched by national parties.
Hall County hosts its first presidential visit in about 20 years, with increased security from the Grand Island Police Department; Nebraska ranchers oppose the administration's plan to increase foreign beef imports.
Osborn, a former labor union chief, has traveled all 93 counties and refused to disclose his potential caucus affiliation, intensifying national scrutiny of the competitive race.
The rally is part of a 32-day blitz across ruby-red states ahead of Nov. 3 midterm elections, as similar independent challenges in South Dakota and Idaho complicate Republican Senate efforts.
