Voters in Nebraska’s open 2nd District have twice rejected Donald Trump, but the presumptive Republican nominee for the seat is “humbled” to have the president’s backing.
Trump has been “doing great things,’’ said Brinker Harding, an Omaha City Council member seeking to succeed retiring GOP Rep. Don Bacon. “We’ve got tax relief for families. We’ve got ‘no tax on tips.’ I can go through the list.”
Trump’s public embrace of Harding came in the middle of another chaotic week for the president, one marked by a spat with the pope and continued high gas prices driven by an unpopular war.
