Trump Visits Kansas as Diesel Costs Squeeze Farmers and GOP Senate Races
Trump’s rally is intended to lift Republican turnout as diesel and other farm costs rise, with fuel and oil expenses projected to jump nearly 30%, officials said.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump travels to Kansas and Iowa to energize voters before midterm elections, as Republicans pour funds into competitive Senate races amid concerns about voter enthusiasm.
- Diesel averaged $6.30 per gallon nationwide on Friday, more than 70% higher than a year ago according to AAA, squeezing farmers during harvest season when fuel demand peaks.
- Earlier this month, Trump signed an executive order easing limits on tax-free red-dyed diesel usage to save "millions" for farmers, following a $12 billion aid package announced in December.
- In Nebraska, Senate Republicans have poured nearly $15 million into the race between GOP Sen. Pete Ricketts and Dan Osborn, while Republican Sen. Roger Marshall faces Democrat Adam Hamilton in Kansas.
- Former Sen. Jon Tester, a Montana Democrat, said there is "no doubt" Democrats will perform better than expected in agricultural states, noting farmers face pressures similar to the 1980s farm crisis.
