LINCOLN- The potential Nebraska gubernatorial candidate Charles Herbster was in the crowd just hours before the political mob stormed the U.S. Capitol. Herbster, a Republican who owns a ranch in Falls City, NE and a Kansas City-area business met Tuesday in Trump's private residence in his Washington D.C. hotel with Trump's sons and advisors present. It is reported that the main point of conversation focused on how to urge more members of Congress to object to the Electoral College results that chose President-elect Biden as victor. Herbster served as an agriculture adviser for Trump's 2020 campaign and is a fervent supporter of President Trump.

However, Herbster called the riot on Wednesday "reprehensible" which could complicate his strategy for a 2022 race for governor as he may have dropped down as the most "pro-Trump" candidate.

Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb is already highlighting Herbster's backing of the president. She also says that Nebraskans do not want another eight years of a millionaire who blindly supports Trump and his supporters.
