Exclusive | Trump to swing through California on Tuesday, Nevada on Wednesday to tout economic sucess

WASHINGTON — President Trump will trek to California on Tuesday for a fundraising trip, part of a two-day West Coast swing where he will tout his work on the economy and take a few jabs at Gov.Gavin Newsom.During his swing through California, he will headline a Republican National Committee dinner at Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles and then head to Las Vegas, Nevada, to deliver remarks on the economy at Red Rock Casino.The purpose of the trip is to spotlight his economic accomplishments and crackdown on crime – along with raising money for the Republican Party – but he’s also expected to target Newsom, the state’s Democratic governor. “President Trump will visit California on Tuesday to tout his wins for the people of the Golden State despite failed Democrat leadership: the largest middle-class tax cut ever, the most secure border in American history, and a plummeting crime rate,” White House spokesperson Olivia Wales told The Post.“The President will draw a sharp contrast between his commonsense agenda and the radical policies of Democrats like Gavin Newsom, who keep raising taxes, inviting rampant fraud in taxpayer-funded programs, and protecting illegal immigrant drug dealers, rapists, and murderers.”Trump has painted liberals as communists and socialists — an attack line designed to rally his base and one Republicans see as a winning message headed into November’s midterm election.California only has a couple of competitive House races this fall.
