Trump Hosts Fundraisers in California

Former President Donald Trump is actively campaigning in California, attending a private fundraiser in Los Angeles on Thursday with ticket prices ranging from $3,300 to $250,000, and a news conference at his golf course in Rancho Palos Verdes on Friday morning. Following his recent debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump's appearances come at a crucial juncture in the election campaign, with polls indicating a tight race. After the LA event, he will head to Woodside for another high-priced fundraiser, with tickets reportedly reaching up to $500,000 per couple. The fundraising strategy highlights California's significance for both presidential candidates, especially given the state's wealth of mega-donors and the competitive political landscape. Trump's visit aims to galvanize Republican support in a predominantly Democratic state, while Harris continues her campaign efforts in North Carolina. The contrasting fundraising approaches reflect the ongoing battle for campaign contributions and voter engagement in a key battleground state.
