Dan Osborn and Lynne Walz said President Donald Trump’s planned campaign visit to Nebraska suggested their opponents needed help, while describing their races as close. Both also said they would work with Trump if elected.
Trump was expected to rally in Nebraska for the candidates opposing Osborn and Walz. Osborn called his Senate race a “toss-up,” and Walz said her race was “tied”; both said Trump’s involvement reflected concern about their opponents’ prospects. The rally was scheduled for Grand Island.
Osborn said he would work with any president and focus on issues such as high fuel and grocery prices. Walz said she would work with Trump on policies benefiting Nebraska farmers and ranchers, and said she had held town halls across urban and rural areas.
