Why Is Donald Trump Touring California, A State He Is Almost Sure To Lose?
(VOR News) – With the presidency in jeopardy in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, why would Donald Trump travel to California, a typically Democratic state, weeks before Election Day?
Trump would likely lose California after his Saturday appearance at Coachella, an arid city east of Los Angeles known for its music festival. This is inevitable. The Republican nominee has good reasons to come, given his chances in the most populous state on November 5.
Former president lost big in California in 2020. He won more than 6 million Republican presidential votes and over 70% in rural areas that usually support conservative candidates.
This large demographic could volunteer for phone banks and state elections in competitive states. Donald Trump is likely to receive extensive media coverage in Los Angeles, the nation’s second-largest market.
Trump will attend Coachella between his Saturday Latino roundtable in Las Vegas and his Sunday event in Prescott Valley, Arizona. He lost the two battleground states to Joe Biden in 2020.
As the communications director for Donald Trump’s 2016 Michigan campaign and a former administration official, Tim Lineberger claimed that Trump’s move to California has given him the “capacity to intervene and capitalize on this substantial number of Trump supporters.” It sounds like they’re “moving in here and turning that on.”
Californians contacted Michigan voters in 2016 for Donald Trump.
The campaign entered safe Democratic territory. He called it “an offensive, aggressive play.” Both parties can easily gather campaign donations in California, where Donald Trump will also solicit funds. Coachella offers $25,000 photographs with exclusive seating for two of the former presidents. The “VIP Experience” cost $5,000.
Republican consultant Tim Rosales called the Coachella gathering a “get-out-the-vote” event that energizes California Republicans who are less involved in the national campaign. Additionally, California congressional races might determine House party control.
Rosales added that Donald Trump will likely continue his fight with Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom. Rosales claims that Republicans are motivated by their ability to subtly criticize California and get the governor to respond.
As the fifth-largest economy in the world, Newsom predicted on Wednesday that Trump would criticize California at the rally while ignoring its benefits. According to the governor, California has more Fortune 500 enterprises than any other state for the first time in ten years.
He said, “You know, that’s not what Donald Trump is going to say.”
Former California Republican Party chairman Jim Brulte believes Trump is trying to get more ballots than his Democratic opponent, a goal he has failed to fulfill before.
“I think Donald Trump is traveling to California in an attempt to win the popular vote in addition to the Electoral College.” According to Brulte, California has more registered voters than 46 of the other 49 states.
Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles is south of the city on the Pacific Coast. However, Trump has a rocky connection with California, where Democrats outnumber registered Republicans 2-to-1 and Republicans have not won since 1988.
California was the home of the Trump resistance during his administration, and Trump often uses it to represent everything he dislikes about America. He called San Francisco and Los Angeles’ homelessness repulsive and promised to help as president.
He won’t spend much time discussing California’s difficulties with Democratic candidate and San Francisco Bay Area native Kamala Harris, the state’s attorney general and senator. This is probable on Saturday.
His side said Harris “converted the infamous ‘California Dream’ into a nightmare for everyday Americans.” Jessica Millan Patterson, the state GOP chairwoman, praised Trump’s juxtaposition of his policies to a Democratic White House that “has left Californians less safe and with less money in their pockets.”
Republicans “will contribute to the establishment of a House majority.”
