OMAHA- Just one day after the Democratic Party announced the first woman of color as a major party nominee for Vice President, second lady Karen Pence visited Omaha. She wanted to ensure Nebraskan women that President Trump and Vice President Pence care about women, too.

The Trump administration sent Pence to Nebraska to help campaign for Representative Don Bacon. The second lady's appearance was an obvious reaction to the Trump administrations dwindling approval numbers among suburban and urban women. She began the day with a 'Women for Bacon' rally. She mostly spoke about protecting capitalism and the American way of life. Mayor Jean Stothert of Omaha was also campaigning for Representative Bacon with Pence. Bacon believes Omaha has only benefitted from the conservative leadership of both himself and the Mayor.

Pence and Bacon spent the day together touring Boys Town and UNMC. At Boys Town, the second lady heard all about the enormous contributions it has made to the Omaha community. Bacon spoke about how proud all Nebraskan's are of the work Boys Town does for children.

At UNMC, they toured the Davis Global Center which is home to the quarantine unit and biocontainment unit which is used for coronavirus research and was most notably used during the Ebola outbreak. They also spoke about the amazing research UNMC does on brain injuries and PTSD, which left Pence with a great impression.

District 2, Bacon's district, is one of the most competitive races in the country. Omaha is also a huge campaigning site for presidential nominees as the Omaha area's electoral vote holds a high importance in the race.
