Trump’s California Visit in SEPTEMBER: What to Expect (Will He Win?)
The California Republican Party in Anaheim will be visited by President Donald Trump next month after the state GOP leadership agreed to abide by the RNC’s rules while still delivering a “winner takes all” primary delegate allocation scheme.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the California Republican Party has set new primary rules that will award a Republican candidate all of the 169 delegates that are up for grabs if they win more than 50 percent of the vote.
This comes after a tremendous uproar occurred following the potential elimination of the “winner takes all” delegate system in California.
The RNC’s “Rule 16” required that states whose primaries took place before March 15 in a primary year transition to a delegate distribution method, and as previously reported by RSBN, the CAGOP was prepared to comply.

In other words, rather than a “winner takes all” system for statewide winners, delegates would have been distributed to a Republican contender exclusively based on the votes from each congressional district.
Republicans have always relied on capturing all 169 delegates (more than any other state in the union) to get the nomination, thus this would have been disastrous for their candidates.
President Trump will visit Anaheim, California, on September 29, making his first campaign trip back to the state since 2020.

“President Trump is looking forward to visiting California Republicans at their state convention and is certain of resounding success in the forthcoming March primary,” Trump Senior Adviser Chris LaCivita reportedly told the Los Angeles Times.
Trump is strongly leading in the 2024 California Republican primary race. According to a recent poll from the Public Policy Institute of California, President Trump has a 26-point lead over Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla.
