A few supporters have even voiced a twinge of concern for the way that their fellow Californians will vote Tuesday, as California is not as much of a lock for former President Donald Trump over presidential hopeful Nikki Haley as a few other states are.
The supporters here tonight are a part of the Grassroots movement for Trump, meaning the group is a nearly fully self-funded organization that funds itself using money made from merchandise sales.
The group is full of “average blue-collar” people, according to its director, Rachel Gunther.
