Both presidential candidates seek to capitalize on the star power and deep wallets sitting in Los Angeles
are both headed to the City of Angels in June on to tap into the the ATM known as Southern California’s
While Trump has largely stayed away from Los Angeles on the trail so far, both he and Biden are expected to visit the Southland more frequently as their fund-raising efforts ramp up. “It’s not the people inside, it’s the people outside that I think are going to matter on these fundraising trips.” “Even though California is a foregone conclusion, we are the ATM for national campaigns,” he said. “And Orange County, despite being much more purple than it used to be, is still a place where Republicans come to raise money.”
That’s not to say Trump doesn’t raise funds effectively in other parts of the state, Strickland added. The former president has a strong support base in Beverly Hills, where he’ll be a day before he travels to Newport Beach. This sets him up at an advantage when it comes to dominating the airwaves in critical swing states like Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Arizona.
