Prior to his visit to California, Trump will be in Nevada, where he will head out with state officials after holding public events after canceling his plans for rallies in Reno and Las Vegas due to coronavirus sanctions.
Democrat rival Joe Biden is four points ahead of Nevada, according to the state’s realcritical polling average, but Trump campaign officials are preparing to move him to his column, even though the Republican presidential candidate has not won in Nevada since 2004.
Hillary Clinton carried 2 points to the state in 2016.
Trump has criticized Nevada officials for passing legislation to facilitate mail-in voting in response to the COVID epidemic – a war opinion he heard in speeches this weekend.
He planned to hold rallies at airport hangars in Reno and Las Vegas – as he has held rallies at airports in other states – Nevada officials disrupted his plans citing COVID restrictions.
Democrat, Nevada Govt. Steve Sisolak issued a directive in May limiting gatherings to 50 or fewer.
But officials denied that Trump had any role in politics in canceling the events.
‘This has nothing to do with politics. Darren Griffin, president and CEO of the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority, said in a statement earlier this week that the letter we sent was not about a political campaign but about directions and safety. ‘We will keep our tenants at the same standard, whether it’s a Democratic or a Republican rally or some other kind of gathering. We are following the Governor’s directive and the Voe Shoe County recommendation during the epidemic. ‘
Republicans are moving forward in Nevada, where Joe Biden is ahead in the polls
Instead the president will depart for Minden on Saturday night, about 45 miles south of Reno.
On Sunday, it will host a ‘Latinos for Trump’ roundtable, a fundraiser will be in attendance and an evening rally in the nearby Henderson at the manufacturing plant.
If Trump can move Nevada into his column, his six electoral votes could help hurt another state like Arizona, where he will stay Monday.
Arizona, a generally red state that has seen Biden lead in the election, is threatening the GOP that the former vice president will take him in November.
