A state GOP rule change has opened the possibility that Trump could sweep each of the state’s 169 delegates on March 5 during the so-called Super Tuesday contests
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.
In what would be an ironic twist, the state where the former president is widely loathed outside his conservative base could help him tighten his grip on the Republican White House nomination. Still, the Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles sits on the Pacific coast south of the city. And even in losing California in a landslide in 2020, Trump received over 6 million votes – more than any Republican presidential candidate before him – with his margins topping 70% in some rural counties that typically favour conservative candidates.
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.
