Ricketts “canceled the fundraiser,” said a Nebraska Republican source familiar with the decision. The source added it was “up to the campaign” whether to proceed with plans for a rally that was set to feature Pence in Nebraska around the same time as the fundraiser.
A source close to the Ricketts family said there had been discussions about two separate fundraisers featuring Pence — one for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and one for the Nebraska state Republican Party — but that both were canceled “because of a lack of interest in the donor community in Nebraska for the Trump-Pence fundraiser.”
As a result, the Ricketts family source said, the Trump-Pence campaign appeared poised to cancel the rally.
