NDP Chair Jane Kleeb issued the following statement today on the Omaha rally planned Tuesday by President Trump:
“This week Nebraska saw our 60,000th confirmed case of COVID-19 and hospitalizations hit record highs. The pandemic is spiraling out of control in Nebraska because of Donald Trump’s failed leadership, and instead of taking steps to control the virus, Trump is renewing his relentless attacks on the Affordable Care Act and protections for people with preexisting conditions. President Trump’s planned rally in Omaha isn’t just a desperate political stunt — it’s a potential superspreader event that will put lives at risk. If you’re looking to turn the page on Trump’s chaotic, divisive approach, make a plan and vote early for Joe Biden and Kara Eastman before Nov. 3.”
