With Election Day closing in, former President Trump took a surprising detour to ultra-blue California to spotlight the state's sky-high inflation, crime and illegal immigration.

Trump touched down in Coachella Valley on Saturday evening to take on Vice President Kamala Harris on her home turf.

Voters in the decidedly blue state came out in droves, with Trump remarking on the sheer size of the crowds as he took the stage at 5:30 p.m. PST.

"We have had a great reception here. Look at this crowd," Trump said, marveling at the crowd. "This is like record stuff as far as the eye can see."
