North Platte, Gering stops included in swing through Nebraska

OMAHA — Political scion Donald Trump Jr. is set to join Nebraska GOP gubernatorial candidate Charles Herbster on a three-city tour Wednesday of western and central Nebraska.
The campaign confirmed Monday that Trump Jr. would start with a 10 a.m. stop in Gering, a 1 p.m. stop in North Platte and a 3 p.m. stop in Grand Island. (The campaign updated the timing of two of the stops.)
An invitation from the campaign describes the events as “meet & greets.” The Herbster campaign has not announced a date for a long-discussed possible visit from former President Donald Trump, who has endorsed Herbster.
Trump Jr. campaigned in the Omaha area and western Iowa during his father’s 2020 campaign for president. He toured local gun range and club 88 Tactical and spoke in Treynor, Iowa.
Then-President Donald Trump won four of Nebraska’s five Electoral College votes in 2020. He lost one — the Omaha-based 2nd Congressional District — to now-President Joe Biden.
