Trump heads to Nebraska on Monday, where his plan to import more beef has angered ranchers
- On Monday, Oct. 5, 2026, President Donald Trump held a rally at the Pinnacle Bank Expo Center in Grand Island, Nebraska, appearing with Senator Pete Ricketts and Governor Jim Pillen to support their reelection campaigns.

- Trump signed an executive order on stage aimed at expanding access to red-dyed diesel fuel before traveling to San Antonio, Texas, on Wednesday for his next campaign appearance.
