President Donald Trump is campaigning in Nebraska on Monday as Republicans work to defend a Senate seat in the traditionally conservative state.

Trump’s visit to Grand Island is part of his 32-day campaign push ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. He is using the campaign stops to promote his administration’s economic record, including investment and manufacturing, while Republican candidates face concerns over inflation and higher diesel prices.

Nebraska has traditionally been a strong Republican state, but the Senate contest between Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts and independent Dan Osborn has attracted national attention. Trump won Nebraska by more than 20 percentage points in the 2024 presidential election, while polling has shown the Senate race to be competitive.

The Nebraska visit comes as Republicans campaign to retain control of Congress. The 2026 midterm elections are scheduled for November 3, with economic conditions, energy prices and the Trump administration’s record among the issues shaping the campaign.
