Former President Donald Trump is in the Coachella Valley today for a rally. Trump is set to speak at a rally at Calhoun Ranch near the city of Coachella at 5:00 p.m.
Doors for the event are set to open at 12:00 p.m.
Trump's press team issued a statement to News Channel 3 earlier this week explaining why the former president chose the East Valley as the host for his rally.
“Kamala Harris did unthinkable damage to California during her six years as the most liberal Attorney General in state history, and she has done even more damage to our Country as Vice President. President Trump’s trip to Coachella will highlight Harris’ failing record and show that he has the right solutions to save every state and every American."
