Event Summary

President Donald Trump made a rare two-day visit to United States — California and United States — Nevada in August 2026 to raise funds for Republicans and discuss the economy, border security, and crime ahead of the November midterm elections. He spoke at a United States — Republican National Committee fundraising dinner at a golf club in Rancho Palos Verdes, United States — California, and held an economy-focused event at the Red Rock Casino in Las Vegas. Trump sought to contrast his agenda with Democratic policies, particularly targeting United States — California Governor Gavin Newsom. The trip occurred amid low approval ratings for Trump's handling of the economy, with only 32% approval in an AP-NORC poll. In United States — Nevada, Trump supported Republican Governor Joe Lombardo, who faces a competitive reelection against Democrat Aaron Ford. The United States — Nevada Democratic Party erected billboards tying Trump to higher costs. Trump's visit also drew criticism from United States — California Democrats, who accused him of using the state as a fundraising stop rather than addressing wildfire recovery. Authorities arrested a man with a gun and ammunition near the golf course ahead of Trump's arrival.
