Endorses Charles Herbster and derides Nebraska Republicans as disloyal

Trump issued a statement giving agribusiness executive Charles Herbster his "Complete and Total Endorsement," touting him as an "America First" loyalist while attacking Nebraska officials who crossed him. He mocked Senator Ben Sasse as a "Looney Tune" and suggested only a governor he approves of can "fortify the state," prompting Gov. Pete Ricketts to respond that "Nebraska deserves better." The endorsement showed Trump still using his brand to purge internal critics and demand unquestioned loyalty in state races.

"With a Looney Tune Senator like Little Ben Sasse representing the wonderful people of Nebraska, it is particularly important that a great Governor... be elected." — Statement backing Charles Herbster
