Trump to raise $5 million in California for re-election bid
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump will raise about $5 million for his prospective re-election campaign in 2020 and for the Republican National Committee at a fundraising event in Los Angeles on Tuesday, a party official said on Monday.
Trump will headline a fundraiser in Beverly Hills as part of what will be his first trip to California since he assumed the presidency in January 2017.
Trump is to first fly to San Diego for a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border to take a look at prototypes of the border wall he wants built.
A party official said the $5 million will come from 90 people expected to attend the fundraiser. RNC Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel and finance chair Todd Ricketts will also attend.

Lured by the prospect of fat cat donors paying between $35,000 and $250,000 to watch him eat well-done steak with ketchup, a chance to poke a stick in the eyes of Left Coast Progressives, and the opportunity to extol his Border Wall hallucination, the Oligarch-in-Chief is coming to California on March 13.
Specifics about the visit are in short supply beyond a daytime visit to the wall prototypes in Otay Mesa and a Republican fundraiser in Beverley Hills.
The Fresno Bee says there are rumors Trump will visit Fresno on the following day to reward Congressman Devin Nunes (R-Comrade) for his loyalty. The Union-Tribune speculated last week on the possibility of Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-Grifter) tagging along for the border wall inspection.
From the Los Angeles Times:
President Trump, the first president since Dwight Eisenhower to skip a visit to California in his initial year in office, finally will come to the Golden State on Tuesday to inspect prototypes for his proposed southern border wall, according to an administration official.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Wednesday said Trump would visit next week. Another official, speaking on condition of anonymity to divulge internal planning, confirmed the president would spend Tuesday in the state with which he’s had the most fraught relationship.
