Even in lefty California, Trump has a firm grip on Republicans. Inside the strategy

LA Times  

In addition to donors, California is home to many prominent members of Trump’s campaigns and his administration — a fact that is unsurprising given the number of powerful conservative organizations in the state, said Charles Moran, a Los Angeles delegate to the state GOP and president of Log Cabin Republicans. “This state still has a cachet to it and a lot of brainpower for conservatives.” Californians who held pivotal roles in Trump’s White House and campaigns include: Stephen K. Bannon The former chairman of Breitbart News, which was founded in a Westwood basement, was chief executive officer of Trump’s 2016 campaign, and after the election served as senior counselor to the then-president for several months. He is credited as an executive producer of movies including “Jersey Boys,” “American Sniper,” “The Lego Movie” and “Wonder Woman.” The national finance chair for Trump’s 2016 campaign, Mnuchin served as Treasury secretary for the entirety of the Republican’s administration. Several prominent members of Trump’s 2024 campaign, including senior advisor Brian Jack, spokesman Jason Miller and Cheung also have California ties.
