Trump to rally in solid blue California in unorthodox campaign move

The trip to the Democratic stronghold likely underscores efforts to shore up congressional Republicans and boost the popular vote for Trump.

Former President Donald Trump is set to hold a rally in deep-blue California, part of an unorthodox campaign move in the final stretch of the neck-and-neck United States presidential race.

The Saturday night event near the Coachella Valley — best known for its annual music festival — comes just 22 days ahead of the November 5 vote.

The final stretch of the election is typically reserved for mad-dash visits to the most competitive battleground states, which include Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona and Nevada this year.

That makes Trump’s stop in California — a Democratic stronghold all but assured to vote overwhelmingly for Vice President Kamala Harris — atypical. Born and raised in the state, Harris previously served as California’s attorney general and remains widely popular there.
