President Trump To Visit Nebraska Amid Tight Senate Race
What happened
President Trump is visiting Nebraska to rally in support of Senator Pete Ricketts, who is campaigning for re-election against Independent candidate Dan Osborn. The visit comes as recent polls show a close contest between Ricketts and Osborn. Ricketts is currently slightly ahead in one poll, while another shows Osborn leading by the same margin. Trump's rally aims to energize the GOP base in a traditionally red state.
Why it matters
