Trump heads to heart of resistance in California
By Brett Samuels - 09/17/19 06:00 AM EDT
President Trump on Tuesday will begin a two-day fundraising swing through California, a state that has made itself the heart of the resistance to his administration’s policies.
Trump is in the Golden State to collect money for his reelection bid.
He will hold fundraisers in Palo Alto and Los Angeles on Tuesday, with additional donor events scheduled for Wednesday in Los Angeles and San Diego.
The West Coast swing is unusual for the president, who is deeply unpopular in much of California. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton defeated Trump in California by more than 4 million votes, while defeating him in the national popular vote by nearly 3 million.
The president’s visit is certain to trigger protests among residents, and talk about who might attend fundraisers for the president ticked off a mini-controversy earlier this month when actress Debra Messing said the list of those attending Trump’s events should be published.
