Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 23 Oct, 00:02 · Archive

Vice President JD Vance and President Donald Trump visited Nebraska and Iowa on the same day, continuing campaign visits to heavily Republican areas ahead of midterm elections.

Vice President JD Vance visited North Platte, Nebraska, on Thursday while President Donald Trump traveled to Sioux City, Iowa the same day. The visits are part of a series of stops by the administration in Nebraska and Iowa ahead of midterm elections, targeting areas with strong Republican voter registration.

Nebraska has not nominated a non-Republican candidate for US Senate in 20 years. According to the Nebraska Secretary of State's Office, 49% of Nebraskans are registered Republicans, 26% Democrats and 22% nonpartisan. In Lincoln County, where Vance visited, over 60% of registered voters are Republicans. In Woodbury County, Iowa, where Trump held a rally, 42% of active voters are registered Republicans.

Trump previously visited Grand Island, Nebraska, where he said the state 'needs to elect a true warrior'. Vance told his North Platte audience, 'Ladies and gentlemen, it is great to be in the great state of Nebraska'. Douglas County Democratic Party Chair CJ King said the administration's visits across the state suggest Republican concern about districts that have traditionally been reliable for them, citing polling concerns.
