That narrative, despite his opposition to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/bipartisan-border-deal-trump-senate-republicans_n_65b284c6e4b0166fc7711d79\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&nbsp;bipartisan border bill<\/a>, is consistent with Trump\u2019s criticism of Democratic-led cities and states that predates his first run for president in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnder Kamala Harris and her dangerous Democrat allies like Tim Walz, the notorious \u2018California Dream\u2019 has turned into a nightmare for everyday Americans,\u201d Trump\u2019s campaign said in a press release announcing this weekend\u2019s rally in Coachella Valley in the southwestern California desert.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harris is a California native, representing the state in the U.S. Senate and serving as its attorney general before becoming vice president. Trump is sure to go after her record and other California Democrats during his rally this weekend.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Ammar Moussa, director of rapid response for Harris\u2019 campaign, mocked the former president\u2019s decision to campaign in a deep-blue state just days from the election.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh no. This is extremely concerning for our campaign,\u201d&nbsp;Moussa&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ammarmufasa\/status\/1843389705846755628\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">said on X<\/a>, formerly called Twitter. \u201cPlease do not go to Coachella, CALIFORNIA 24 days before the election.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coachella is located in a safely rated Democratic district held by Rep. Raul Ruiz. However, Trump\u2019s visit there could aid endangered GOP Rep. Ken Calvert, whose district is adjacent to Ruiz\u2019s and is considered competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some Republicans have also&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/madrid_mike\/status\/1843396189338906915\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">argued<\/a>&nbsp;that the event could resonate with Latino voters across the country, who have experienced a rightward shift in recent years. Polling data has indicated that Democrats\u2019 edge among Latino voters is at its&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/poll-harris-trump-democrats-advantage-latino-voters-continues-shrink-rcna172686\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">lowest level in the last four presidential cycles<\/a>, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSure it\u2019s in California but dismiss the message it sends it at your own peril,\u201d veteran GOP political consultant Mike Madrid&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/madrid_mike\/status\/1843396189338906915\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">warned in a post on X<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Trump could send the same message by campaigning instead in nearby Arizona, an actual swing state with many Latino voters. He currently leads Harris by only 1 point there,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/polls\/president-general\/2024\/arizona\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">according to the Five Thirty-Eight polling average<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump is also scheduled to host a rally in New York City at the famed Madison Square Garden on Oct. 27,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/akarl_smith\/status\/1844004654054887889\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">according to NBC News<\/a>, just nine days before Election Day. The location for that event \u2015 midtown Manhattan \u2015 is even more puzzling. He could have chosen to campaign instead on New York\u2019s conservative-leaning Long Island, as he did last month, to aid several House Republican incumbents there.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump\u2019s visit to Aurora this Friday comes in the wake of his false claims attacking immigrants there during last month\u2019s presidential debate against Harris. The former president said that \u201cVenezuelan gangs have taken over entire apartment buildings\u201d in the city \u2014 a statement that was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/state-watch\/4923211-aurora-mayor-says-trump-claims-about-colorado-town-grossly-exaggerated\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">rebutted<\/a>&nbsp;by its mayor and other local officials.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doug Heye, a former Republican National Committee communications director, told HuffPost that \u201cone would think\u201d Trump\u2019s time would be better spent campaigning in battleground states.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harris, meanwhile, is holding rallies this weekend in Arizona and Pennsylvania, another critical battleground that could determine the presidential race.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/tingchao.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7842\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tingchao.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1-5.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tingchao.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1-5-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">JUNEAU, WISCONSIN &#8211; OCTOBER 06: Republican presidential nominee, former President Donald Trump, speaks during a rally at Dodge County Airport on October 06, 2024 in Juneau, Wisconsin.
