Nebraska Senator Pete Ricketts faced a challenging town hall meeting in Kearney, where he defended President Trump's proposed budget cuts, particularly increased spending on border security and the military. Despite occasional jeers and chants of "tax the rich," Ricketts emphasized his support for Trump's tax cuts and acknowledged the need for a long-term solution to Social Security's solvency. The meeting also touched on tariffs, healthcare, and international issues like the war in Ukraine.
