President Donald Trump was in Nebraska Monday evening as he looks to boost Republicans ahead of the midterm election.

The rally is part of Trumps 32-day tour ahead of the election, which has heavily focused on red states thus far, like Alabama, Ohio and Oklahoma. Trump said he is going to Iowa and Nebraska for the farmers, expressing confidence in their support.

Were going to Nebraska for a great governor and a great future senator and its going to be very successful, Trump said as he left the White House on Monday.

Trump gave remarks in Grand Island, Nebraska, an area that he won in 2024. He is campaigning for the Republican ticket, including Sen. Pete Ricketts, who is running against independent Dan Osborn. Republican Gov. Jim Pillen is also facing a challenge from former state senator Lynne Walz.

President Trump is in Nebraska to deliver a simple message: promises made, promises kept. Lower taxes, stronger farms and ranches, new manufacturing, and safer streets are the record because Republicans delivered and Nebraskans cannot afford to hand that progress back, the White House continued, pointing to direct aid to farmers and private sector investments in the state.

However, Trumps midterm blitz comes as voters express concerns over the economy, polling shows. The president has generally dismissed those surveys.

A new CBS News/YouGov poll found 70% of respondents felt the presidents policies were increasing the price of food and groceries.

According to a KFF/AP survey of rural voters in September, more than a quarter of Republican voters disapproved of the presidents handling of the economy, though more rural voters preferred the Republican Party to address the cost of living.

In Nebraska, farmers are seeing financial stress and the most severe financial downturn and stress point since the crisis of the 1980s, according to John Hanson, the president of the Nebraska Farmers Union. The union has endorsed Osborn, while the Nebraska Farm Bureau has endorsed Ricketts.

We're seeing the machinery costs and our capital costs going up far in excess of the rate of inflation, and so we're not able to buy new machinery," Hanson said. "The cost of repairs has gone up at a really steep rate, and so even being able to repair equipment is tough. Fertilizer costs are up substantially, about 25 percent. So then, on top of all the other things and sagging commodity prices, then we get hit with the price of diesel."

Over the past year, the Trump administration has contended with the pricing of ground beef, fertilizer and recent record-high costs for diesel.

But Trump expressed confidence in support from farmers and told reporters he would be helping them with diesel.

We are doing a lot for the farmers. The farmers have been with me from day one," Trump said. "Ive made the farmers a lot of money."

During his remarks Monday, the president signed an executive order targeting diesel costs, making so-called red dye diesel fuel temporarily exempt from taxes.

Trump in recent weeks suggested he was considering an export ban, but after European partners announced a release of diesel, he said he wouldnt do so.

We are in the middle of harvest season. The diesel price makes a huge difference in terms of profitability. So this action taken by the president with our allies overseas to make sure that we're getting more into the supply system is coming at a really, really important time, USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins told Scripps News last week. I will note as well, though, we have been talking to a lot of the states. I'm sure you've seen this: Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama, Nebraska and several others, I think, came online in the last day or two on the dyed diesel question, which also should cut 10 to 20% off of the top of the price per gallon right now.

President Donald Trump rallied supporters at Butler High School in Ohio on Saturday, urging them to consider him as a key factor as he continued his midterm campaign push.

"We win when I'm on the ballot," Trump said.

The rally is part of what Trump calls a 32-day tour ahead of the election to help boost Republicans amid a number of competitive races across the country.

Ohio is home to several closely watched races. Former Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown is seeking to unseat incumbent Republican Senator Jon Husted in a race that could determine who controls the Senate. Republican Vivek Ramaswamy is also running against Democrat Amy Acton.

"On election night Ohio is going to prove America does not belong to those who hate it, America belongs to those who love it," Trump said.

Trump touted both Republican candidates and his administration to the crowd. His message included promoting investments, tariffs and action against Iran, defending data centers which have divided some Republicans and promising they would ensure the centers benefit communities, while warning against Democratic leadership.

A short distance from the rally, 1,400 people at a Navistar truck factory were laid off, according to the Associated Press.

The campaign push comes as polls show persistent voter concerns about the economy. A recent AP/NORC poll found only 17% of adults approved of his handling of the cost of living. More broadly, a number of polls show the president's approval rating generally under 40%.

Trump dismissed the surveys to the crowd, contending they do not account for his campaigning.

"They don't account that Trump is out campaigning," he said.

He spoke to a high school stadium filled with supporters donning MAGA gear, many touting support for Trump some for all three campaigns. One protestor was drowned out by the crowd.

"I think we're gonna have a surprise," Trump said.

"Just get out and vote and if you do that we're gonna win big," Trump said.

Trump has acknowledged concern over messaging and races in some states in recent days. His focus in the final weeks ahead of the election has centered on red states to thank supporters including Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama with a visit to Nebraska ahead.
