President Donald Trump has officially endorsed Nebraska Senator Pete Ricketts for re-election, describing him as a powerful and effective voice in the U.S. Senate. The endorsement was delivered through a statement on Trump’s Truth Social account, where he expressed his full support and confidence in Ricketts’ leadership.

“Pete Ricketts is doing a terrific job representing Nebraska,” Trump wrote. He commended the senator for his strong advocacy of farmers and the American agricultural sector, praising his dedication to cutting taxes, growing the economy, and supporting military veterans and law enforcement officers. Trump also highlighted Ricketts’ unwavering stance in defending the Second Amendment.

Trump particularly emphasized Ricketts’ efforts on immigration and border security. Calling him “one of the strongest senators in the country on border security,” the president underscored Ricketts’ commitment to stopping illegal immigration and fighting against migrant-related crime.

The endorsement also included sharp criticism of Ricketts’ opponent, Dan Osborn. Trump labeled Osborn a “radical left open border extremist,” drawing a stark contrast between the candidates on issues of national security and immigration policy.

With this endorsement, Trump continues to shape the 2024 electoral landscape by backing candidates aligned with his administration’s core priorities. His support signals to voters that Ricketts represents a continuation of the president’s tough stance on border enforcement, economic growth, and support for American values.

As the Nebraska Senate race heats up, Trump’s endorsement is expected to boost Ricketts’ campaign and rally Republican support across the state.
