Why Trump is holding a rally in the California desert, weeks before election day

LA Times  

Donald Trump held a news conference in September at his golf club in Rancho Palos Verdes, above. The most common reason for White House hopefuls to visit California is to raise money from the state’s large number of wealthy donors, as Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris have done recently. He’s not leaving anything on the table.” Trump’s campaign said the former president is appearing in the state to shine a spotlight on Harris’ record here. Presidential candidates typically avoid visiting California to raise money this close to the election — Harris’ last trip to her home state for a fundraiser before election day took place at the end of September. “Even after Trump tried to block disaster aid for our firefighters, jacked up Californians’ taxes to reward buddies in other states, and bragged about taking reproductive freedom away from women, Ken Calvert is right there, sitting on Trump’s lap, applauding,” said Dan Gottlieb, spokesperson for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
