Trump Campaigns in Nebraska, Signs Diesel Tax Order Ahead of Midterms
In the lead-up to the November 3 midterm elections, former President Donald Trump campaigned in Nebraska to support Republican candidates, including Senator Pete Ricketts and Governor Jim Pillen. Trump signed an executive order easing tax limits on red dye diesel to reduce costs for farmers and truckers amid rising fuel prices linked to the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. Despite Nebraska's strong Republican history, polls show a competitive race, with Democrats leading nationally and among independents. Trump criticized Democrats and emphasized economic growth under his administration during his rally.
