Former President Donald Trump has expressed his determination to secure Omaha's electoral vote, following a setback in his efforts to change Nebraska's election law. Trump took to Truth Social to declare his love for Omaha and his intention to win the city's vote once again, referencing his victory there in 2016.

The setback came after state Sen. Mike McDonnell announced his decision not to support changing the law that determines electoral votes by congressional district before the upcoming November election. McDonnell's stance was seen as a significant blow to Republicans seeking to alter the election law.
