LOS ANGELES — President Donald Trump returns to California on Friday for a trip to the U.S.-Mexico border and a fundraiser in Los Angeles as the state's GOP struggles on many fronts.
Also, some Republican House incumbents and challengers in the recent midterms sought to distance themselves from Trump on immigration and offshore oil drilling, among other issues. But the state GOP plotting a comeback in 2020, even using the Green New Deal against Democrats. "We support the president and are glad he's coming to Los Angeles," said Eric Early, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Republican Party."We have lots of policies of the president's that we support."
Stutzman said Trump represents"everything that's opposite" to broaden the party, including being able to reach voters who are younger and more ethnically diverse. Immigration is a hot-button issue in California that divides the electorate like few others. With a population of nearly 40 million people, California has more than 10 million foreign-born residents — more than any other state.
