President Donald Trump is headed to Coachella, California, for a rally just weeks ahead of his election against former California senator and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump’s event is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 12, 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time at Calhoun Ranch.
“Under Kamala Harris and her dangerous Democrat allies like Tim Walz, the notorious ‘California Dream’ has turned into a nightmare for everyday Americans. Since Harris and Biden took office, prices have skyrocketed by nearly 20 percent, leaving Californians grappling with crushing costs,” the Trump campaign’s announcement stated.
“Families are struggling to stay afloat, with the average California household losing more than $33,232 since January 2021. Californians are suffocating under rising prices for everything from groceries to housing, thanks to Kamalanomics,” it added.
Trump’s remarks are expected to address soaring housing prices, especially in major metro areas across the state.
“The median sales price of a home in California has surged by 23 percent under Harris’ watch, pricing out middle-class California families. In cities like San Diego, where the average home now exceeds $1 million, the dream of homeownership has become a cruel joke,” the campaign’s statement emphasized.
“Los Angeles is not far behind in entering the seven-digit price range, as working families are forced to either pay exorbitant prices or leave the state altogether. These backward policies are what Democrats like Harris and Walz consider to be ‘progress,’” it continued.
Gas prices have also soared in California, setting record highs in 2022 under the Biden-Harris administration.
“And let’s not forget the surging gas prices squeezing Californians at the pump. Residents are paying $4.66 per gallon on average, with 2022 gas prices setting new record highs thanks to the Green New Scam policies of Harris, Biden, and Newsom. California also boasts the second-highest unemployment rate in the nation, further proof that Democrats like Harris are driving the state into the ground,” the statement noted.
Trump made a multi-stop tour through the Golden State in June where he received a warm welcome from residents.
