Donald Trump addressed his supporters Friday at Eppley Airfield. Trump’s campaign says that even though he is the presumptive GOP nominee, he will not rest until he’s in the oval office.
On Friday he shot down rumors that he hates women, discussed endorsements he’s gained, and talked about what he’s done to make his campaign successful.
Trump says he will take away the tariffs on Nebraska’s beef exported to Japan. He said he wants to reduce the number of murders in America’s large cities.
Trump has now turned his main focus to Hillary Clinton, with all other Republican campaigns suspended.
However, he still does need to secure those 1237 delegates to officially be named the GOP nominee.
"We want to create such a record like they haven’t had before. So on Tuesday, if you can, go in vote. The stronger we look, the stronger we are, we have more votes then anybody, and don’t forget I started with 17 people and one by one, it was a beautiful thing to watch," Trump said.
While many Republican leaders have announced they will support Trump in the election, several also say they won’t back the hopeful; including U.S Senator Ben Sasse and most recently, Jeb Bush.

Some Nebraskans anxiously awaited the arrival of one 2016 presidential hopeful Donald Trump, while others did not.
Hundreds gathered at Eppley Airfield in Omaha to welcome Donald Trump. It’s an opportunity many were excited for. The presumptive GOP nominee made a campaign stop in Cornhusker state Friday afternoon.
"I’m excited about Donald Trump. I believe in him 100 percent,” Gerald Yager, a trump supporter, said. "He speaks what is on his mind. He doesn’t have to listen to anybody. He’s self funded. That’s what I respect about him,”
Supporters of all ages were at the rally, including first time voters.
"Being able to vote this presidential election, voting for someone who is obviously not super political. That doesn’t have a huge political background, but obviously knows what he’s doing,” Jessica Cullan, Omaha, said.
The 2016 Republican candidate’s Nebraska visit happens days before the state’s primary election. Many voters say trump’s presence will make a difference.
"I think him coming here, I mean he’s far away a lot, I think him coming here should us how important we are in the Midwest,” Brad Higgins, Fremont, said.
