Donald Trump holds campaign rally in Coachella
Former President Donald Trump made a stop in California in the Coachella Valley Saturday evening. The Former President took the stage around 5:30 pm in front of a packed rally at Calhoun Ranch near the city of Coachella.
Speakers before Donald Trump included Congressman Ken Calvert, Sheriff Chad Bianco and many other top Republican leaders.
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."
