A state GOP rule change has opened the possibility that the former president might be able to sweep California's trove of delegates in the March 5 primary.
Former President Donald Trump speaks to a crowd during a campaign rally on September 25, 2023 in Summerville, South Carolina. Few corners of the U.S. may be less hospitable to Donald Trump than California, where he lost by more than 5 million votes in the 2020 election. But as the former president seeks to return to the White House, the liberal bastion may give him an unlikely boost.
Trump, who is facing criminal charges in four separate cases, has long had a conflicted relationship with California, the nation’s most populous state, where Democrats haven’t lost a statewide election since 2006 and outnumber registered Republicans by about 2-to-1.California was home to the so-called Trump resistance during his time in office, and Trump often depicts California as representing all he sees wrong in America.
That created a competitive environment where Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi ’s district in San Francisco awarded the same number of GOP delegates as a rural, conservative heartland district. The state party — strongly influenced by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield, a Trump loyalist — "shifted everything to help Donald Trump," Fleishman said.
