Presidential rivals Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis will court Republicans on Friday in California, a glittering prize in the race for the party's 2024 nomination and home to many wealthy donors.
The event follows Wednesday night's Republican presidential debate in southern California, which Trump skipped and DeSantis used to make his most direct challenge yet of the race's leader. Democratic President Joe Biden also traveled to California this week to raise money for his re-election campaign.
Trump, who leads his nearest rival DeSantis by 37 percentage points in the latest Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll, is set to benefit from a recent rule change in how California's delegates are awarded. If he wins more than 50% of the primary vote in the Golden State, he will collect all 169 delegates, rather than have them allocated on a proportional basis.
