TRUMP HEADS TO NEBRASKA AS REPUBLICANS DEFEND RED-STATE SENATE SEAT

US President Donald Trump will visit Nebraska on Monday to rally Republicans and promote his economic record, taking his ​message of new investment and manufacturing to a state where farmers ‌and truckers face sharply higher diesel prices and voters worry about inflation.

His stop in the city of Grand Island is part of Trump's 32-day sprint to the November 3 ​midterm elections, a campaign in which he is spending considerable time ​in Republican strongholds. Trump has urged Republicans to “pretend” he is ⁠on the ballot, arguing that voters should view the midterms as a ​referendum on his administration and economic record.
